Intercultural Coaching

You might know this feeling: The meeting has been going on for two hours now and you have the impression that it just began. Each person around the table keeps coming back around to the initial point of view again and again – without moving forward and building something together. It’s a struggle, as you never had this problems with your team at “home.”

Working in an intercultural context, whether you’re an expat or member of an international team and organization, makes seemingly every issue more complex than in a “normal” organizational environment. Add the intercultural complexity and the challenges multiply. Intercultural coaching will help you decode what is cultural and what is personal. It casts the challenges in the light of your own and of the others’ culture. Thereby the coaching enables you to:

  • position yourself,
  • decide clearly what is acceptable and what’s not,
  • find out your individual way to adapt, and
  • make explicit what’s in your own cultural backpack.
