Join us for an engaging workshop on Culturally Responsive Coaching (CRC), designed specifically for coaches eager to enhance their practice with practical tools and strategies for working with individuals and groups from diverse cultural backgrounds.
In this workshop, we will explore how to recognize and honor the rich cultural wealth, knowledge, and skills that diverse individuals bring to the table. Attendees will learn how to advance their coaching practices by developing dynamic and engaging multicultural strategies for successful assessment and outcomes.
Through foundational discussions and group-based exercises, coaches will gain valuable insights into nurturing individuals’ professional, social, emotional, cultural, psychological, and physiological well-being. The workshop will feature a panel discussion and break-out groups, fostering a rich discourse on how to apply learning and professional growth in contexts that connect to individuals’ lives, communities, and beyond. We will delve into creating a sense of justice and belonging, empowering coaches to help their clients thrive from multiple perspectives of doing and being.
