Underrepresented Talent

By exploring the different layers of identity and creating safe spaces to share lived experiences, we help your talent from underrepresented groups feel comfortable coming to work as their authentic selves. We support this by working with your leaders and senior execs to launch sponsorship programmes, increase knowledge, and develop inclusive leadership skills.

Ultimately, we help you increase diversity in leadership and executive positions within your organisation. And we support your people in increasing resilience, enhancing self-efficacy and advocacy, and breaking through any barriers to their career progression.

What we offer

Underrepresented talent coaching

Our coaches encourage your talent to lead authentically, identify untapped strengths, and grow their influence. Through group, one-to-one, digital coaching, and sponsorship programme support, we ensure that your employees are set up to thrive.

We also work with managers, helping them to understand the barriers talent from underrepresented groups may encounter, so they can be better equipped to support their colleagues individual needs while giving your leaders guidance and tools to help drive long-lasting systemic change.

Testimonials

The conscious inclusion coaching developed together with Talking Talent was a game changer in Mondi’s D&I journey. It created a momentum to drive behavioural change across the organisation. Enhancing inclusive leadership, cascading coaching into the organisation, and helping ensure we act in an inclusive way so that colleagues feel valued for their input… this is the basis to harvest the benefit of diversity.
