In this episode, Jordan and Tracy discuss:

  • How is coaching perceived differently in different parts of the world

  • Understanding how cultural differences impact coaching

  • Neuro diversity in coaching

  • The difference between coaching, mentoring, consulting, and therapy

  • What does it mean to have a coaching culture

Key Takeaways

  • A one-size-fits-all approach to coaching across different cultures will not work.

  • People give and receive communication differently so we can’t assume that when we say something to somebody else that it will come across as we intended.

  • The coach needs to have knowledge and understanding about the background of each person.

  • The line between coaching, mentoring, consulting, and therapy are very fine lines. Coaches need to be aware of their own ego needs and offer other modalities only when the client will benefit.

  • To know the client’s needs, the coach should find out what is their pain, what is the cost of their pain, and what would be the benefit for them if they changed. They must decide whether they should invest in making that difference.

“It can be so easy to go on autopilot. Before we know it, we're just in there having a chat, giving them advice left, right, and center. . . . I think it's about staying aware of what we're doing, knowing that we're slipping in and out of these different modalities and contracting openly for that. ” — Tracy Sinclair
