Executive Coaches, Mentors & Supervisors

With diversity and inclusion on the agenda in many workplaces today, it is essential for professional coaches, supervisors and mentors engaged in these conversations to be equipped to hold that space.

Leaders & Leadership Teams

Inclusive leadership requires leaders to operate with a growth mindset and to understand the value in thinking before taking action. It requires leaders to operate with curiosity, recoginising the value in perspectives that challenge their own thinking.

We can support you to develop your racial consciousness giving you the knowledge, language and confidence to drive meaningful change within your organisation.

We can support you to actively foster inclusion and belonging in your teams and wider organisation. Our dedicated 1:1 coaching sessions throughout enable you to make the best use of your thinking time between modules.

Change needs to be beyond the intellect and our work supports the necessary mind-set shift, working beyond KPIs and one-off interventions.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion practitioners

HR managers and DEI teams are being tasked with designing racial equity and inclusion strategies, often with little to no budget and relying on support from DEI business champions who also have a ‘day job’.

We are here to equip and support HR & DEI practitioners with the confidence and knowledge to build viable change programmes that will create lasting change for your business.

Coach Training Providers

Against a backdrop of the current global dynamics – Racial Consciousness and Critical Consciousness are essential competencies for coach training professionals.

Our professional, coach education programme supports Coach Training Providers to understand the profound significance of diversity, social justice, equity and inclusion in Coaching and build a practice that practice aligns to the global code of ethics relating to discrimination, bias and systemic injustice (3.4 & 3.5 Global Code of ethics).
