The Practice of Inclusion: What Is It and What Does It Mean for Coaching and Consulting?

Sponsored by California Psychological Association, Division 3: Consulting and Industrial-Organizational Psychology Division

Day and Time: Thursday, December 10, 2015 12:00-1:00pm PST

Webinar Description:
Inclusion—and specifically finding and using our genuine voices in the service of cherished values—can be a fundamental source of vitality for people, organizations, and societies. Fostering inclusion and gaining its benefits require practices to create safety and comfort across differences, enabling all voices to be expressed, heard, and valued. Yet, as we engage across deep divides, that very same freedom can provoke profound discomfort and conflict, paradoxically stifling true difference. A core inclusion skill, then, involves speaking up and making waves authentically, productively, and effectively—even uncomfortably—and facilitating this capacity for others. For inclusion to be truly present, all people should have the opportunity to speak up about “things that matter” and to engage in their full vitality. These perspectives have important implications for what we do in coaching and consulting and how we do it.
