Equality, Diversity and Inclusion are such an important aspect of leadership but can be lost as a side line that gets brought up when team members have a problem. If the needs and support of your team are a daily priority to the leader and the team as a whole then inclusion becomes more automatic in everyones behaviour and consideration.
In this series of EDI focused sessions, Rachel Diss breaks down why and how we can lead with interest and awareness of out teams, finding solutions and realising that we all have amazing diversity and benefitted from kindness and care for those we work with and lead. It also raises aspects of The Equality Act 2010 and how you can support team members with reasonable adjustments to optimise your outcomes with a functional and valued workforce.

How to use the Course. This is obviously completely up to you, but we suggest you take time to digest and apply each lesson. Many people learn better if they have a partner to learn with, or a mentor or coach they can discuss ideas with. Although you could easily complete all the videos in a relatively short period of a few hours, you would gain more from the experience by approaching it mindfully and slowly, taking the time to practice, apply and reflect as you progress through the course. Please contact us if you would like to work with one of our coaches or leadership development experts.
