Initiating and maintaining the diversity and inclusion dialogue can be challenging. As practitioners, we often ask ourselves, how do we continue the D&I conversation in between formal initiatives? In this webinar, participants will use the GROW coaching model as a tool to initiate and advance the diversity and inclusion dialogue. Participants will generate a list of powerful questions that stimulate conversation and participants will prepare for a coaching conversation they can have in their organization in the upcoming weeks.

Learning Outcomes

• Apply the GROW coaching model to advance the conversation about D&I and increase behavior change in their organizations
• Create a plan to using coaching principles in a real informal or formal conversation the will have in their organization
• Identify & apply powerful questions that stimulate reflection, problem solving & development to grow the cultural competence, and diversity and inclusion in their organization
