👥 Small group, for interactive and practical engagement
🎁 You'll receive a digital resource kit so you can bring the tools back to your team
The sessions build on each other. Each also stands alone.
SESSION 1 of 3 — Inclusive Leadership: Keeping international talent engaged
Inclusive leadership is built in small ordinary moments: the 1:1s, feedback conversations, team meetings. This session gives you practices for those moments.
What you'll learn:
• How to spot and intercept the saboteur patterns (e.g. Hyper-Rational, Avoider, Judge) that unintentionally push international professionals away or make them feel invisible
• Roleplay of real situations, e.g. where the same feedback or expectation lands differently on someone still learning to read the workplace — so you practise a more compassionate response before you need it
• Simple micro-practices to stay calm, clear-headed and inclusive during 1:1s, feedback conversations and team meetings
• How to build trust and psychological safety so international professionals feel seen, heard and able to contribute fully
You'll leave with two or three micro-practices you can use immediately, and a deeper awareness of your own patterns. Plus, a one-page checklist of the saboteur patterns with the micro-practice that counters each — yours to share with your team.
