Why cross-cultural dexterity coaching?
Cross-cultural interaction and communication situations provide a variety of challenges that can make you feel uncomfortable, anxious, or even resentful.
You may realize that you don’t know what you are doing wrong but whatever it is, it is making your communication ineffective and prone to generate misunderstandings.
Or perhaps you do know how you are supposed to communicate and behave, but doing so makes you feel inauthentic.
In our cross-cultural dexterity coaching, we combine our basic coaching method with the Global Dexterity Method developed by Prof. Andy Molinsky.
This coaching will give you practical skills that’ll enhance your global dexterity, the ability to operate successfully in intercultural communication situations without compromising your authentic self.
In our cross-cultural dexterity coaching program:
We help you
- identify the specific cross-cultural communication situations where you need help;
- diagnose the cultural code you should abide by in those situations;
- increase your understanding of this code;
- develop strategies to successfully communicate in those situations in ways that are authentic to you.
You will
- assess the gaps that currently exist in your cross-cultural communication abilities;
- chart out the ways in which you can close those gaps;
- determine the individual steps along that journey and, most importantly,
- start taking those steps.
We, in turn, will
- ask you questions that will facilitate those processes;
- provide you with specifically designed tools you can use to help you in this process;
- keep you accountable to yourself; and
- provide support and encouragement along your journey.
and by the end of your coaching journey you will
- have a better understanding of your own reactions and feelings in certain challenging cross-cultural communication situations;
- have learned a methodology that helps you overcome challenges in similar situations in the future;
- be more successful in your cross-cultural communication;
- be on your way to achieving your ultimate goals now that you have increased your cultural dexterity; and
- be able to do all of this without compromising your authentic self in the process.
