How can you answer interview questions about diversity and inclusion effectively?
I like Maileen's answer about "Ensuring alignment of your personal values" is very important but that means you must know what your values are. You must take to the time to search within your self ask the hard questions that will inform you if your values align with those of the organization you're seeking to work with.

How can you use role-playing to help team workshop participants practice new skills?
As stated by a few others role-playing is a great way for folks to practice what they've learned but it's also a great way to make your workshops/training more engaging. That engagement will have folks wanting to attend more of your workshops/training thus giving them more opportunities to learn. Growth is the goal!

How can you collaborate with SMEs to create effective training programs?
Remember that recognition is more than just money! Taking the time to thank your SME's for their knowledge and collaboration goes a long way. If you do have a budget you can treat them to a group meal which provides recognition and networking opportunities to meet others that they may not work with on a daily basis. A lot of times this will also fuel more collaboration & innovation.

What are the best ways to develop leadership skills as a new graduate in Career Counseling?
First know your why! It is my experience that self-awareness is a key foundation, from there it is important to understand you are already a leader, it's up to you to show up as such. Seek mentorship and Supervision as well as offer to counsel and mentor others. Learn from your successes, and your failures. Lastly, to thy-self be true, be someone that others can trust.

The Foundation certification program focuses on the first element—understanding how the ATA Enneagram identifies different “types” or “kinds” of people—and how understanding these differences is useful for supporting growth in your work as a coach, consultant, trainer, or OD/HR practitioner. Topics of the module include: clear thinking about the Enneagram, the nine Ennea-type strategies, the three Instinctual Biases, the 27 subtypes, creating change with the Awareness to Action Process, and a brief introduction to assessing personality type.
This program consists of six two-hour live sessions, conducted every other week. The live sessions are supplemented by over 100 videos, optional monthly Q&A sessions, and small group learning. Participants will watch the relevant videos for each session and the live sessions will consist of review and practice of the material. -
