There is no doubt that we are in unprecedented times. Businesses that excel are responsive to the needs of their clients and employees and, more importantly, they stay ahead of an ever-changing world. We are in an era where building a culture of respect and empathy is no longer optional but is imperative for long-term business success.

As coaches, it is important to consider your client's context and environment as you prepare to help them explore beyond their current thinking. It is also imperative to revisit the how to coach without attachment when this topic is charged with emotion.

Using a data-driven approach, this session will explore how building a long-term sustainable culture of respect and inclusion will help coaches: 

• Challenge the role of bias in decision making 
• Identify factors that influence current and future patterns of behavior, thinking or emotion
• Increase engagement and performance efficiency
• Promote innovation and attract talent 
• Increase financial performance 
• Examine the need to bring a human touch to a bottom-line conversation
