The ingredients include:

1. - be willing to acknowledge and publicly apologise when you cause harm - for errors, for technical glitches, for non-delivery of what’s promised, for losing your shit

2. - pro-actively work to improve diversity and accept sometimes you will be called out, and that’s your work to do

3. - be clear and honest with yourself, about your own skill set and experience, and make offers accordingly

4. - work to create the safest possible containers for coaching, whether 1:1 or in a group setting (eg do not share a client story without explicit permission!)

5. - accept you are not perfect, and you will fuck things up, and that’s okay (and see point 1.)

And truly, one shouldn’t have to say this - but *do not* gaslight your people by refusing to even consider you might have got something wrong.

Seeing the latest blowup in the industry is a reminder that not everyone is on board with this.

Ethics matter. Get some.
