How does East-West Leadership Coaching work?
Progressing through the three coaching stages of AWARENESS, SKILLS and HABITS, East-West Leadership Coaching first prepares participants for the often unexpected culture shock of negotiating, communicating, delegating tasks, motivating and managing others in culturally unfamiliar places and situations. Coach and client build awareness about the participant's individual communication, decision-making and leadership style, and its compatibility with the specific environment (the city, industry, firm and team) of interaction with culturally diverse firms and business partners.
​
The SKILLS stage of the coaching introduces advanced applications of intercultural leadership tools such as the Global DISC intercultural behavioural assessment, Erin Meyer's Culture Map, and methodologies for communication, negotiation, teamwork, delegation, leadership and if required, time management, strategy, product and service customisation specific to the national, professional and corporate cultures of the participant's project, team or firm.
​
The third stage of building productive leadership HABITS takes the entire second half of the coaching programme, and consists mainly of the application of newly learned skills and on-going feedback for the improvement of results. If required by the client, this coaching phase can include team members, superiors or other partners and stakeholders. The programme closes with a summary of results and suggestions for further development.
