Description
Join us in conversation with four ICF coaches as they share their experiences in creating inclusivity in their coaching engagements. They will share the role that cultural self-awareness, curiosity, and humility play in helping us recognize, appreciate, and support clients just as they are rather than by who we assume they are or how they should be.
Learning objectives:
- Attendees will gain insights into how coaches can enhance their cultural self-awareness to improve their coaching effectiveness. They will explore strategies to recognize their own cultural biases and assumptions and understand their impact on coaching relationships.
- Attendees will learn about the significance of maintaining curiosity and humility in coaching engagements. They will discover techniques to approach coaching conversations with an open mind, valuing each client’s unique cultural context without preconceived notions.
- Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on real-life examples and case studies shared by panelists, including challenges and successes in coaching across cultural differences. They will consider how these experiences can inform and improve their own coaching practices.
