Intercultural Competence Coach

Intercultural competence, or cross-cultural competences as the concept is known internationally, is a combination of a wide range of skills that are essential for intercultural understanding in a professional setting—especially when we find ourselves in environments that are still unfamiliar to us and demand a great deal of flexibility.

These days, it is part of everyday business to communicate online with people across thousands of kilometres—possibly without ever having met in person. Such interactions can be very inspiring and educational, but they can also be overwhelming or lead to misunderstandings. An intercultural competence coach can optimally develop your knowledge and, in particular, your skills in this area before things get serious!

Your Intercultural Competence Coach

Successfully mastering new challenges is something that matters to everyone. A confident presence and clear self-leadership are valuable skills that I have learned step by step along my own path. That is why today I am an intercultural competence coach: I want to help you prepare as well as possible for your new challenges. I have many years of experience in several international companies and have engaged intensively with Asian-European cultural communication. Whether you want to
  • emigrate
  • are being transferred abroad
  • have business trips ahead of you
  • want to expand your company abroad
  • etc.

Coaching will not only provide you with the necessary knowledge, but also boost your confidence and prepare you for new international interactions.

Mental clarity and a strong ability for self-leadership will help you succeed in new roles or new countries. To support this, I offer multi-month packages consisting of several coaching sessions. Appointments can be arranged flexibly.

Feel free to contact me by phone or online for more information!

Coaching content with an Intercultural Competence Coach

Intercultural competence consists of three core skills:

These competences build on one another—and you can learn them too.

As an intercultural competence coach, I would like to work with you to identify your individual focus, your strengths and weaknesses, and which competences are most important for your situation. Based on that, I will put together the ideal programme for you and your needs.

Individual support from your Intercultural Competence Coach

In my coaching, I not only want to work with you on how communication with people from foreign cultures can succeed, but also explore your own cultural imprint at the same time.

Through our personal stories, each person has a different—always interesting—understanding of culture, but also of work, politeness, etc. Being able to grasp and understand your own cultural background is therefore an essential step in being able to understand other people’s attitudes more deeply.

You do not have to be a psychologist to adopt the other person’s perspective in both private and professional contexts. These skills are what make an outstanding leader and can be developed through coaching with your intercultural competence coach.

As your Intercultural Competence Coach, I prepare you for extreme situations

Communication in an international and intercultural environment often carries the potential for misunderstandings.

Together, we can work out how, ideally, to prevent such unpleasant situations from arising in the first place—and also how to deal with them should they occur.

Self-confidence and clear communication are essential. For you, it may therefore be helpful to try out, with an intercultural competence coach as a neutral sparring partner, what the best way is for you to achieve this—and how to apply it in other contexts as well.

Feel free to contact me online or by phone, and let’s take this path together—for long-term success and pleasant communication in the professional environment!

Frequently asked questions

Intercultural competences include skills such as cultural awareness, empathy, openness, communication skills, and adaptability when dealing with people from other cultures. They are essential for successful, respectful collaboration in an international context. As an intercultural competence coach, it is my job to sharpen these skills together with you so that your experience abroad becomes a success.

My coaching is primarily aimed at specialists and managers, expats, teams in international companies, self-employed professionals with a global focus, or anyone who wants to work in an intercultural environment in the future—whether abroad or in a virtual setting. Feel free to contact me so that I can become your intercultural competence coach as well.

After an initial consultation, we will jointly agree on the exact content and frequency of the sessions. Coaching can take place online or in person and is flexibly adapted to your scheduling needs. A package usually includes several sessions over a period of several months. As your intercultural competence coach, I will focus in particular on the skills that are relevant to you and your situation.
