Join us in an intriguing workshop as we explore the true nature of the range of clients we work with in our coaching, mentoring, supervision, and/or leadership practices. Decades ago, the phrase ‘halos and horns’ emerged particularly in relation to selection and recruitment interviews. It suggests we make quick judgments, often in the first 15 seconds we meet someone, based on factors such as voice, appearance, mannerisms, and so on, drawing on our unconscious bias. We may then seek the information that supports our initial view. Might we also allocate ‘halos’ or ‘horns’ to our clients or team members, and if so, what does that mean in our practice?

Eve and Carole will demonstrate a systemic model that ensures every client or team member gets their time ‘in the sunlight’ so we can identify patterns in how we work more easily. in this practical session we will each examine our coaching, mentoring, supervision, or leadership practice: what is it that makes us find some clients or team members easier to work with, or means that we may particularly look forward to some discussions and less so to others? And how might we empower more diversity and inclusion by understanding these patterns? Participants will leave with the model to use.
