In this weeks episode of the Tilted Coaching podcast, in a snapshot, I speak about the impact of cognitive bias on being inclusive and how positive intentions, aren’t enough.

Each one of us has our own cognitive bias and as I continue to work around the topic of Inclusive leadership it is becoming increasingly obvious to me, that even those of us who feel like we have a handle on our own bias, can act out of bias unknowingly and mainly towards groups or individuals we have less understanding of.

You can Listen here to the 3-minute podcast.

One of the best experiences I have had around my own bias and its impact on coaching/supervision, and which successfully raised my awareness came through a workshop facilitated online by Dr Helen Turnball a few months ago.

With a combination of my own work, my new learnings through my PhD research, Dr Turnballs work and conversations with Yvette Elcock I am excited to co-facilitate Diversity Beyond the Obvious with Yvette, an experience starting in February 2021 for coaches and supervisors who wish to improve their awareness and work in terms of difference.
