By becoming human rights advocates during this time of crisis, we will build more effective and inclusive solutions for the tragedy of today and the new world ahead. I believe people — and their rights — must be front and center in our work as coaches and in the future we build together after COVID-19. How do you incorporate a human rights approach into your coaching? During my career as a coach and a human rights practitioner, I’ve learned that incorporating the universal principle of human dignity is essential to coach people and companies towards a better future.

  1. Universality. Human rights are universal. We need to coach companies and individuals in the understanding that everyone is entitled to basic human rights.
  2. Do no harm. Seek to prevent or mitigate adverse impacts on others and their communities. Everything we do has an impact. Carefully assess the impact that you currently have on the world around you.
  3. Own your commitment and be coherent. As coaches we need to empower others to create statements, whether personal or organizational, that reflect commitment towards human dignity and generate positive, life-changing practices.
