How Does Coaching Support Diversity and Inclusion in Organisations?

In this episode we are joined by Sasha Scott and Jen Morris of Inclusive Group to discuss how coaching can support Diversity and Inclusion in organisations.

The role coaching might play in supporting behavioural change in organisations is a relatively new development, and one that is still taking shape.


Listen to this episode if you’d like to learn more about the difference between Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging and the different kinds of coaching that can support this work. We explore why many organisations fail to make meaningful progress in this space and examine the role coaching can play in supporting and embedding behavioural change.


As Sasha highlights, mindset is key. We talk about growth mindset, reverse mentoring, leadership, role modelling psychometrics and more.

About the Podcast

The Coaching Question
Exploring the world of coaching in business, for coaches, users and buyers of coaching
Two experienced executive coaches, Sarah Turner and Gregor Findlay discuss topics pertinent to those that commission and use coaching in organisations, as well as for coaches themselves.

We want more coaching conversations to be happening in the world and while there are lots of resources targetted at coaches, there seem to be less targetted at helping those that bring coaches into organisations.
