Cross-Cultural Coaching
Leveraging cultural differences for creative synergy.
Your culture and the culture of your client affect the coaching process. It is critical for coaches working with culturally diverse clients to understand basic differences in culture.
This interactive presentation will increase awareness of cultural differences and their impact on the coaching process. Through stories, discussion, and coaching models and tools you will learn to recognize and effectively coach those culturally different than you.
“The issue is not whether culture matters… The real issue, rather, is how – not whether – culture matters.” Amartya Sen
Every group of people and organization shares values and beliefs – that’s culture. Globalization, rather than homogenizing cultures, has brought even greater cultural diversity to our doorstep.
In today’s organizations, diversity of every kind is celebrated as strength. The power of diversity is in embracing different ways to look at challenges, fresh ideas, and approaches. Diversity has a downside as well. Differences conflict with others’ values, communication styles, and ways of being.
You will learn:
1. How culture impacts your coaching.
2. Two common cultural scales to enhance your coaching practice.
3. How to leverage culture for your client's growth and goal attainment.
