Coaching Across Continents (Online)

About

How can we support people from different cultures and life journeys in a way that is empowering? How do we create a conversation that is inclusive and builds genuine connections?

Coaching Across Continents is an experiential learning course that introduces participants to coaching as both a skill and a mindset. Rooted in equality in dialogue and non-judgmental communication, this program provides you with an opportunity to support others in discovering their strengths and finding their own solutions.

The course integrates coaching tools with real cross-cultural contexts. You will learn to listen deeply, communicate with compassion, structure conversations using basic coaching models, and create spaces where people feel seen and heard.

More than learning techniques, you will explore who you are as a coach.
Because in this work, you are the instrument you work with.

Through live practice sessions, peer coaching, reflection and feedback, you will discover the power of supporting and inspiring others, opening up new perspectives, and contributing to inclusion and growth
