Personnel & human resources management

Coaching and developing employees is not a one size fits all activity. Race, gender, class, education, culture and religion can all affect the needs of employees. Coaches, leaders and line managers must address this.

Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging in Coaching is a practical guide that explains how to understand different employee needs, identify what experiences can impact these needs and how to develop a truly inclusive approach to coaching and employee development. It also covers how to recognize the difference between employees in survival mode as opposed to those who are thriving, feeling psychologically safe and displaying healthy resilience.

Packed full of practical tips, tools, real-world examples, interviews and activities, this book provides guidance on creating an inclusive culture of belonging that ensures all employees thrive. This new edition also identifies key developments in Artificial Intelligence and how they can be incorporated into coaching. There is also specific guidance on how to deal with employee trauma such as prejudice, racism, bullying, burnout, imposter syndrome and grief. It also explains how to cultivate a system of acceptance and encourage all employees to safely bring their authentic selves to work. Supported by expert advice, personal experience and industry research, this book is crucial reading for all coaches, leaders and managers responsible for talent development.

""Thought-provoking and profound, Salma Shah's elegantly written book is an essential resource for coaches and leaders. The stories and learning shared within its pages are pure gold. Infused with compassion and insight, this book is not only a clarion call for greater inclusion, it also offers the reader a whole host of practical tools to start making a difference right away."" * Paul Williamson, Group Head of Talent Development, ATG Entertainment * ""Salma is a fantastic storyteller who blends factual psychological insight with lived experience to demonstrate the importance of inclusive coaching. An impactful, practical and engaging tool to support you as a coach."" * Shagufta Sharif, Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Skipton Building Society * ""I highly recommend Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging in Coaching as an essential read for anyone involved in coaching or leadership roles. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of how to create coaching environments that not only embrace diversity but also foster inclusion and a sense of belonging for all participants."" * Patricia Chinyoka, ED&I lead, Hyde Housing * ""For any organization striving for a truly representative workforce, or any individual committed to leading inclusively and championing diversity in a meaningful way - this is the book for you."" * Alicia McDonnell, Group Head of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion MAG (Airports Group) * ""In this second edition, Salma once again offers us insightful, practical and provocative content to help us to deeply anchor diversity, inclusion and belonging within our coaching practice. And if ever there was a time for us to double down on building our awareness and knowledge about exclusion and othering, it is now. Salma is a guiding light, she illuminates aspects of coaching practice that are often overlooked, misunderstood or unseen. I highly commend her work and this book. Thank you, Salma, for your courage and conviction to bring about change and to reconnect us with what is deeply human."" * Rachael Hanley-Browne, EMCC Global Council Chair * ""Salma's approach is unique, insightful and will have a profound impact on anyone seeking to understand how systemic norms have shaped their sense of self, and most importantly, how they can begin releasing themselves from subconsciously shaped limits and achieve their full potential."" * Zahoor Ahmad, Head of Social Mobility, Inclusion and Belonging, Co-op *
