‘You’re removing the identity and any biases that you hold within a question and what you’re getting back is a huge amount of identity’

It was a joy to speak with Ruhina and learn more about what it means to be non-directive as an approach to creating inclusive environments in education. Ruhina walks us through critical strategies and how they can be applied to different contexts to support inclusive pathways to leadership positions and development of staff and students both personally and professionally. In just 15 minutes you will get a sense of Ruhina’s open and intentional approach to leadership that can be used to develop all of our approaches.

Listen now to hear:

1️⃣ Coaching approaches provide a gateway for senior leaders to develop deeper and more inclusive relationships with their team.

2️⃣ How being non-directive gives space for the person to include their full selves and speak to their needs and aspirations in ways that ensure they are included no matter who they are.

3️⃣ Coaching approaches that can be applied to all members of the learning community as an act of inclusion and community development.

Check out the full episode above to learn a key approach to DEIJ work that can support your DEIJ journey.
