Intercultural skills coach

Intercultural competencies, or cross-cultural competencies 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 foreign to us and demand a great deal of flexibility from us.

It is now part of our daily business to communicate online with people thousands of kilometers away, possibly even without ever having met in person. Such interactions can be very inspiring and instructive, but can also be overwhelming or lead to misunderstandings. An intercultural skills coach can optimally train your knowledge and especially your skills in this regard before the serious part begins!

Your intercultural skills coach

Successfully mastering new challenges is a concern that is close to everyone’s heart. A self-confident demeanor and clear self-management are valuable skills that I have gradually learned along the way. That is why I am now an intercultural skills 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 dealt intensively with Asian-European cultural communication. Whether you
  • want to emigrate
  • are transferred abroad
  • business trips ahead of you
  • your company wants to expand abroad
  • etc.
Coaching will not only provide you with the necessary knowledge, but also improve your confidence and prepare you for new international interactions.

Mental clarity and good self-management skills will help you to succeed in new roles or new countries. I offer multi-month packages consisting of several coaching sessions. The dates can be arranged flexibly.

Contents of coaching with the Intercultural Competencies Coach

Intercultural competencies consist of three main skills:
These skills build on each other and you can learn them too.

As an intercultural skills coach, I would like to work with you to find out where your individual focus lies, where your strengths and weaknesses are and which skills are most important for your situation. From this, I will put together the ideal program for you and your needs.

Individual support from the intercultural skills coach

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

Through our personal stories, everyone 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 don’t have to be a psychologist to be able to take the perspective of your counterpart in both a private and professional context. These skills make an excellent leader and can be developed as part of a coaching session with your intercultural skills coach.

As an intercultural skills coach, I prepare you for extreme situations

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

We would like to work out together how to ideally prevent such unpleasant situations from arising in the first place, but also how to deal with them if they do occur.

Confidence and clear communication are essential here. It could therefore be helpful for you to work with an intercultural skills coach as a neutral sparring partner to find out the best way for you to achieve this and to be able to implement it in other contexts.

Feel free to contact me online or by phone and let’s go down this path together! For long-term success and pleasant communication in your professional environment!
