Global coaching- making it happen around the world

When I first heard of coaching, some 13 years ago, I remember the thought that came across my mind: "This is very American". 
And it was, perhaps still is.
Something about the methodology, the type of conversations, the format and the approach that I observed and later researched in depth really gave me that feeling – "American…California…San Francisco"…

Yet, a gross generalization it was then and a gross generalization it is now. 
The fact of the matter is that coaching works, and works wonders so often, when there are a few basic ingredients that are in place: the desire to be there, the power of reflection, the power of dialogue and an earnest, deep-seated desire to bring about positive change. These things are not "American" but "human".



However, the way to create these conditions can vary widely across cultures and nations, not knowing this can lead to major blunders, burnt relationships and missed opportunities. Turning your back on this can even lead to the end of your business.

Coaching empowers for positive change. 
Global coaching does that in tandem, respect and collaboration with those who are different from us wherever they may be.
Go global. Go global coaching!
