In the first blog we highlighted the challenge and possible obstacles to expanding the reach of coaching.\u00a0 We got started with learning more by reviewing definitions.\u00a0Let\u2019s take that learning deeper.\u00a0Options include classes and self-directed study with reading and watching videos.<\/p>\n

A quick search for classes on diversity and inclusion brought up this page on Inc. listing free training: https:\/\/www.inc.com\/the-muse\/9-free-diversity-and-inclusion-online-classes-for-managers.html<\/a> and also https:\/\/www.class-central.com\/search?q=diversity+and+inclusion<\/a> plus a search of books on Amazon netted quite a few at https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=diversity+and+inclusion<\/a><\/p>\n

In the first blog we gave three steps any one coach can take: learn, communicate openness with language and images, and offer sliding scale or pro-bono coaching services.\u00a0 In the next blog we will look at examples of language and images that make a difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
