Building Cultural Competency in Coaching

About the Event

The International Coaching Federation (ICF Global) has designed the cultural competency training to enhance professional coaches’ understanding and sensitivity towards diverse cultures and backgrounds. It equips participants with the knowledge and skills to navigate cultural nuances and foster inclusive environments. Through interactive exercises and group discussion, this training promotes effective intercultural communication, collaboration, and respect across cultural boundaries. 

After completing this workshop, you will have the ability to:

1. Recognize the difference among cultural knowledge, awareness, and sensitivity
2. Display personal cultural proficiency during coaching
3. Distinguish the six stages of cultural competency
4. Define intercultural communication and describe its importance in coaching.

The cultural competency training will be held virtually and faciliated by our ICF Austin DEIB Director, Dr. Alejandra Rodríguez Mielke.   Participation in this training will earn participants 2.0 CCEs (1.5 CORE & 0.5 Resource Development).
