Summary:
When leaders have the right mindset for inclusion, they recognise the privilege that comes from their positional power and ‘positionality’. They also recognise that without sponsorship most employees, particularly from marginalised and under-represented backgrounds, find it difficult to progress through their careers into senior leadership roles.
This session will enable delegates to develop the necessary understanding to become effective allies and sponsors through understanding:

B iography
Obi Abuchi is a British-Born Nigerian. He is the CEO of CORE Leaders International, Founder of the Personal Mastery Academy, and author of several books, including Leading from Your Core (2021) and The Magic of Monday: A Fable about the Winning Formula for Career Success (2012). He is an NLP Practitioner, resilience coach, and a transformational speaker.
Obi has coached, trained, and worked with leaders in the private, public and voluntary sector. He focuses on personal, tactical, and strategic leadership topics.
In recent years, he has focused much of his leadership coaching on enabling leaders from under-represented groups to break through the internal barriers to their personal and professional growth and success.
For more than two decades, he has been fascinated by the difference that truly effective, inspirational, and transformational leaders make to those around them. He’s discovered that the most inspiring leaders have learnt the secret of effective influence - it begins with mastering oneself and channeling one’s ego in the service of others in order to lead in a way that is deeply purposeful, authentic, and courageous.
