Coach, support and mentor
Listening and empathy are two essential skills for any professional who wants to communicate effectively and build positive relationships with others, but this is especially important when tacking issues of equality, diversity and inclusion within the workplace.
For business leaders and people managers, effective listening and empathy can benefit work place conversations in many ways. Together, these skills can help create a work environment that fosters trust, collaboration, and mutual respect.
Connect with me to discuss the value of my work in this space with Leaders (Executive Coaching) and the work force staff (Staff Coaching, Listening Sessions and Workshops).

The Coaching Approach
Help Coachees identify how the lack of ‘seeing’ role models in senior leadership that look like them might have impacted and stunted their own aspirations and self belief for those tiers of management.

Help Coachees identify blockers and develop a strategy for overcoming them.
Help Coachees identify and take hold of opportunities and options on how best to use them to their benefit and furtherance of career goals.

Move from passive to proactive
Move from ‘can’t do’ to ‘can do’.
