Introducing the Inclusive Cultures Coaches and Facilitators for 2024
Clore Leadership is delighted to be working with an incredible team of six professional coaches to lead this year’s Inclusive Cultures – a six-month disabled-led professional development programme designed for cultural leaders seeking to take steps towards systemic change.
Inclusive Cultures is a six-month disabled-led professional development programme designed for cultural leaders seeking to take steps towards systemic change. This learning opportunity is for individuals who are ready to deepen and broaden their competence and deepen their courage to contribute to inclusive culture making and disability justice. The programme draws on Inclusive Leadership theories and practice, and the lived experiences of D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse people/communities, and uses coaching techniques to inform both thinking and action.
