My Coaching

Empowering Connections through Coaching

I believe in the power and potential of relationships that transcend cultural boundaries. But: Relationships are hard, and intercultural relationships come with an additional set of challenges.

Building a relationship with someone whose culture, upbringing, and experience of the world are different than ours can be challenging. Enhancing our intercultural sensitivity and knowledge, and developing helpful tools and skills can begin to bridge the gaps.

Intercultural Relationship Coaching helps to become more aware of our own culture and values - and those of our partners. We can learn how these values and assumptions influence the way we perceive the world and help to actively improve relationships.

With my coaching, I don’t provide judgments or solutions. Through the process, I will facilitate and structure your own process to help you find your inner resources and solutions. Together, we can build strong relationships that foster open communication, mutual understanding, and productive collaboration to create shared culture and vision for the future.
