Discover how to develop global, diverse talent with self-awareness, confidence and curiosity

In podcast episode 15, Executive Coach Nishi Ayer, talks to host Sue Stockdale about how to develop high-potential leaders and how to keep them engaged, committed and successful in critical roles.

Following her upbringing during the apartheid era in South Africa, and with a focus on inclusion and diversity, Nishi explains how she coaches high-potential talent to navigate challenging conversations and lead with a global mindset in times of change. Her top tips for coaches working in the ‘global talent and inclusion’ space are to start with yourself and know what your values are, then challenge yourself and work outside your niche.

This discussion is part of our Coaching in the Workplace podcast series, in which Sue Stockdale interviews leaders, executive coaches and authors to discover the far-reaching ripple effect that coaching can have in business and society.

"Coaches need to be mindful and embrace the fact that they can be a change-maker by keeping an open mind, being curious, respectful, and flexible."
