Inclusive Culture
“After my initial discovery that everyone has a Unique Life Fingerprint, and coaching people to discover and connect with it in how they navigate life and career choices, I become increasingly curious on the frequent disconnect between peoples inherent strengths and potential and whether the workplace they worked in and the role they were doing was really harnessing that.”
Gill uses a diagnostic tool to measure both the strengths and opportunities across these 4 Culture lenses in the high performing teams she works with:
- Clarity
- Connection
- Contribution
- Well being And Psychological Safety
This is the basis for creating an inclusive culture and building team problem solving and change agility.
Creating an Inclusive Culture
While diversity and inclusion are frequently used words in organisations, most often the methods of creating inclusion are lacking. An inclusive culture is possible to achieve even in teams that are dysfunctional, or in those that are part of the way there but want to enhance their inclusion.
Building Team Problem Solving & Change Agility
If you can combine great insights with a case for change, and deeply engage people in bringing their strengths to that, shifts can be created quickly and then sustained, not by processes, but by people.
