Overview

""La'Wana Harris has opened this coach's eyes to the power of coaching practices to create new paths for diversity and inclusion work-whether or not you are formally trained as a coach. Please read this book and help create workplaces with honest engagement and access for all."" -Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers 50 #1 Executive Coach and two-time #1 Leadership Thinker in the world The elephant in the room with diversity and inclusion work is that people with privilege must use their privilege to allow others equal access to power. This is often the reason diversity efforts can be stalled--we talk about the benefits, but we don't address the perception that in order for some to gain power, others will have to ""lose."" Everyone believes in diversity until they have to give something up. How do we talk people through this shift? This book introduces a new coaching tool, called Inclusion Coaching(tm), based on cutting-edge research to create the best practices for building a sustainable and actionable culture of inclusion for all businesses and organizations. Harris offers timely solutions and resources to help readers move beyond intentions to actions and behaviors that confront various negative ""isms"" felt by many who feel that they aren't being supported in the workplace. This book advocates for an innovative coaching platform that takes professional coaching and frames it with an inclusion modality. A valuable addition to the coaching profession, Harris provides managers and diversity coaches with new models to empower employees and CEOs to ""do"" inclusion and address deep-rooted biases that are often invisible to us. These proven solutions will help empower and inspire any business leader or organization to leverage all its members' talents to drive change through individual and collective action.
