The Coaching Sugars are back for two close-out-the-year shows! Next week, December 5, 2016 at 11 am EST, the Coaching Sugars, Mike McGinley and Kirsten Olson, will chew on something at the center of many of our lives right now: “Hearing and Honoring Difference, And Remaining True To You.” This week's show will kick off with some powerful, searching letters from our listeners. The Coaching Sugars will candidly consider how to hold space and be present with clients and colleagues when our belief systems are very different and what to do what to do when you feel overwhelmed in the face of national contraction. As always, The Coaching Sugars offer responses to coaching and leadership dilemmas that are not about giving the right answers with a lot of certainty and authority, but instead offering truthful, thoughtful, heart-full advice based on their own coaching and leadership. Real, compassionate coaching and leadership talk, served up straight on December 5. Join us!

How do we know when we tip into an unconscious bias that excludes others? Do we use culture as the rationale? In the second show in a three-part series about culture in organizations with guest host Randy Chittum, we talk with Jackie Cranford about how unconscious bias is present in how we create culture. Join us as we talk with Jackie, adviser and talent strategist, about how culture may perpetuate some biases and how culture can also serve to interrupt the damage done by unconscious bias. We will revisit some of the topics addressed in last week’s episode, with Gerry McDonough, such as the “walking around definition” of culture and “how people survive, thrive, and fit in,” and get Jackie’s take on the subject. All of this, and more, will be discussed on November 21, 11am EST. Join Randy Chittum and Jackie Cranford for what promises to be an enlightening discussion.
