Why Us?

How do you create meaningful change? The kind that’s authentic, and sustainable. The kind that makes a real difference to people within your organization. We start by listening.

Once we understand you as a partner, we can offer you real support. Whether that means creating a strategy tailored to you. Or refining your current initiatives. Whatever your needs we can manage the back-end delivery. And measure success along the way.

Our coaches

At the heart of our approach is our coaches: a diverse team of people with world-class credentials and deep industry expertise. Using a variety of tools and techniques, they can help your employees identify potential blind spots, maximize strengths, and improve wellbeing.

We work with people at all levels within your organization to create measurable and sustainable change. And by focusing on areas like mindset, behaviors, performance, and organizational goals, we help build a bridge between personal development and business success.

Our approach to systemic change

Explore our services

We want to partner with organizations like yours whose primary goal is to achieve deep, long-term behavioral change. This requires a continuous commitment and dedication to ongoing progress. So, if you’re ready to make that level of meaningful change, then we’re ready to help you see it through.

We'll take your leaders, managers, and employees through three steps to help create lasting change:

01

Learn

We help you identify areas of strength and where improvement is needed. We create a strategy – or assess your existing one – based on this research. After that, we develop each individual's awareness and skills through workshops and coaching.

02

Amplify

Through group coaching and discussions, we elevate and expand skills and learning. All of this is grounded in our commitment to accountability and in creating safe spaces for people to show up authentically.

03

Sustain

We help participants continue their learning with 1:1 and digital coaching. This sustains change and progress and leads to measurable results.

The Talking Talent Difference

A one-size-fits-all approach to DE&I fits no one. The sustainable, systemic change required to achieve meaningful results won’t be achieved through one-off training sessions and webinars. This is why our approach is different.

Coaching-led: Sustain lasting results with our experts trained in deep behavioral change.

Committed to ROI: Measure the bottomline benefits and the intangible, but invaluable benefits, too.

A systemic focus: Support your employees, managers, and leaders to make a holistic impact.

A ‘whole person’ belief: Recognize how life outside of work connects to an individual’s professional identity and influence.

Business psychology: Use highly qualified coaches and solutions grounded in clinical research.

Digitally blended: Combine in-person and digital coaching to scale efforts and make coaching accessible to your entire workforce.

Truly global: Get specialized expertise wherever you are in the world.

My coach has been instrumental in helping me take a step back from the day to day, and to be able to reflect on my environment and my values, leadership style and behavior and well-being within it.

Having an inclusive and diverse culture at RBC is essential. Our business is built on connections and relationships between people, teams and organizations – all of which are incredibly diverse.

RBC

It’s great to be recognized as a top employer for women for the eighth consecutive year. In a modern company, gender should never be a barrier to success and achievement. We’re proud to have made a commitment to be a leader in gender diversity, and this accolade recognises the progress we are making to develop female talent and drive a better gender balance at senior management levels.

The conscious inclusion coaching … was a game-changer … Allowing top executives to experience what it feels like to be excluded and talking through numerous examples on how often this happens, created … behavioral change across the organization enhancing inclusive leadership.
