Individual Intercultural Coaching

Individual Intercultural Coaching is a highly customized service, as it is a unique collaboration between the intercultural coach and the individual to build their capacity to effectively navigate differences that make a difference. This service is grounded in best practices from intercultural development theory in service of personal and professional growth.

It is unique in that it meets the individual exactly where they are in their development, based on the results of the Intercultural Development Inventory, building on their individual strengths and supporting their growth in ways that are both compassionate and accountable. Depending upon the individual’s goals, coaching sessions are an opportunity to support putting theory into practice on an individual, organizational, and/or systemic level.

Our coaching clients include:

• DEI professionals who want to add an intercultural development framework to their work
• Leaders who work across many types of “differences that make a difference” and are committed to building their leadership capacity
• Individuals, often recommended by HR or their supervisors, who need additional support in respectfully or effectively responding to difference or are resistant to DEI initiatives
