Cross-cultural coaching

Working effectively with others.

In an organisational context, culture includes differences in degrees of:

• Distance between more powerful and less powerful individuals.
• Individualism.
• Tolerance for uncertainty.
• Longer-term or shorter-term perspectives.

Culturally intelligent people have greater:

• Awareness of of cultural differences.
• Capacity to change their behaviour to accommodate cultural difference.
• Motivation to change their behaviour in the light of knowledge of cultural differences.
• Conceptual ability to make sense of culturally diverse contexts.

Cross-cultural coaching aims to support clients to become more culturally intelligent.
