Diversity & Inclusion
How to avoid diversity washing through assertiveness…
Today more than ever, we have become aware that one’s IQ (Intelligence Quotient), one’s reasoning ability, is not the lead principle in getting to the top. EQ (Emotional Quotient) has become a decisive factor for recruiters both top-down and bottom-up. The recognition that sustainable, meaningful change comes from our ability to work with our emotions […]

And in my final instalment relating to ‘Assertiveness & You’ (the best workshop on assertiveness that you have yet to discover!) we explore the final piece of the puzzle where the participants are at this stage aware of what assertiveness demands, what they demand from themselves to be assertive and their beliefs, values and emotional […]
