Professor Rebecca Jones is joined by Sarah Leach and Aboodi Shabi on the fifth episode of our latest series of Coaching@Henley podcast, as they discuss and consider the topic of inclusion in coaching, with each of them sharing their personal stories.

In this episode Rebecca Jones, Sarah Leach and Aboodi Shabi discuss their personal experiences of inclusion and the impact of not feeling included. The theme expands to the concept of self-awareness, ‘How I show up as a coach’, with a coaching mindset: curious, actively listening, cultivating trust and safety whilst demonstrating respect for the client’s identity, perceptions, insights and feelings.

Ultimately, the importance equipping ourselves with knowledge and of validating others lived experiences, understanding their perspective and then recognising their position, not encouraging the coachee to do what you would do.

Get in touch if you have any questions you would like us to answer in future episodes or want to share your feedback.
