Evidence Based Inclusion is not the same as Coaching

“That’s why people hire me. That’s not the same as coaching at all.  I became comfortable with that on the course.”

You don’t have to choose one or the other, you can choose both.

“ it’s funny because the coaching skills allowed me to understand this myself and use this”

– The difference between being dramatic and theatrical

– The goal of any infinite game

– Why finite games in Inclusion leave you short changed

Play the episode for more

Here’s some key takeaways from this episode: 

It’s useful to think of Inclusion as an infinite game.

“You don’t know who’s playing along. You don’t know all the rules. You don’t know when this is going to stop.”

There are no fixed rules, no fixed boundaries and no fixed end point.

“You get to make the rules. You get to push the boundaries. You get to contribute even if no one knows who you are.”

The goal isn’t to win in the short term.

“Sometimes you may not feel like showing up. Sometimes I don’t feel like showing up! But our focus is on ongoing engagement and participation, with no fixed endpoint.”
