ITV leader programme for deaf, disabled, neurodivergent kicks off

ITV has confirmed the 11 high potential colleagues who have been selected for its senior leadership programme, Amplify, which this year focuses on supercharging the leadership potential of outstanding Deaf, Disabled and neurodivergent colleagues.

Joining the programme which begins this month, the selected colleagues will get bespoke coaching sessions, leadership sessions and panel discussions with top industry speakers.

As with the inaugural year, each participant on the programme will be matched with a sponsor from the management board as well as become a sponsor themselves to a new entrant joining ITV.

The programme will be held over 6 full days across 8 months and participants will also be given individual coaching sessions across the period. The programme is being led by ITV Creative Diversity Partners, Nahrein Kemp and Sam Tatlow MBE and is being facilitated by Executive Coach Sarah Pickthall.

The selected participants come from a range of different areas across ITV including commissioning, production, news, commercial, marketing, technology and streaming.

Participants from the 2022 Amplify programme include Sonny Hanley, who has been promoted from his role as Controller, Content Services to become the Director of ITV Academy, Enita Kang, Head of Enterprise and Risk and now Chief of Staff in the CEO Office, and Priya Singh (formerly Business Director, Content Supply Programme) who has recently been promoted to Director of Operations, Commissioning and Content, reporting to Media and Entertainment Chief Operating Officer Sarah Clarke.

Here's the "executive coach" that is involved as the main facilitator of this "diversity scheme" : https://sarahpickthall.com/coaching/

she's been involved with scams! and has also been scammed herself.

her "coaching training" comes from this company that she promotes on her website : https://www.aoec.com/programmes/systemic-team-coaching-diploma/

this website has this on modern slavery, but they seem not to understand it or the laws in the UK since they are a UK company : https://www.aoec.com/ending-slavery/

this is the Companies house listing for this fake coaching company : https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04534640

she also took training from another "coaching company" called : http://www.cfor.info/
this is a "leadership" training company, but lacks any details, seems more of a community charity

she also runs this : http://cuspinc.org/?location_id=11 . a "arts org" that isn't one.

and she also runs this : https://syncleadership.com/about/ , a "disability leadership scheme" that focuses upon Australia (not the UK, it's a UK company though).

and there's this : https://www.stopgapdance.com/biographies/sarah-pickthall/

https://theewgroup.com/about/people/sarah-pickthall/

this company discriminates against disabled people, especially if you are seen different such as autistic. This is their training where they get a lots of wordings wrong, and no mention of any laws/legislations that business have to follow (yes there's a patten) : https://theewgroup.com/diversity-inclusion-training/neuro-inclusion-training/

and the clore leadership scam link : https://www.cloreleadership.org/about-us/associates/2627

She isn't disabled, she doesn't know anything about UK laws/legislations in place, she isn't a activist.
