In this dialogue with Aaronde Seckou Creighton, we explore the intersection of the Leadership Circle Profile and the work of diversity, equity, and inclusions. We discuss how assessments can be both helpful and unintentionally harmful to leaders from historically marginalized communities and how coaches can more fully see, appreciate and work with the richness of their client's lived experiences.
