When asked to picture a diverse workplace, what do you see? Is it an office or Zoom call full of people who look different from yourself? Perhaps you envision healthy conflict with someone who holds a different viewpoint. Maybe you think of more product innovation brought by unique perspectives. It’s likely that you pictured some aspect of “difference” among a group. This is the beauty of workplace diversity.

Jeanie Johnstone the Founder and CEO of Young-Life Coaching explains this concept in more detail on how to define diversity, equity, and inclusion at work in the 21st Century.

Young-Life Coaching is designed to create a positive belief system and attitude towards themselves and others.  We hope to begin with a child before he or she learns patterns of frustration, anger, fear, overwhelm, and anxiety.  If children start to learn these skills early, they will have the knowledge and confidence to handle any life challenge that comes their way and the persistence to get through it. Jeanie brings an abundance of skills to the table when communicating with children. She has personally helped hundreds of children and adults overcome challenges in their everyday lives.
