ABSTRACT
Diversity is integral to coaching. To be a good coach it is necessary to work from a diversity perspective – even if the ‘d’ word is not mentioned. Any two people are different from each other in some way; this affects the way they perceive and respond to the world and how they feel about it. Diversity considers these differences, and how they impact on the way people are and how they interact. In organisations, according to Kandola and Fullerton (1998), diversity work focuses on maximising the potential of each person.
