Intercultural Institute for Master Coaches (IIMC)
The first-ever Intercultural Institute for Master Coaches will be held this summer. Join us for an intensive 2.5 day program, June 14-16, 2018
Akiko Maeker, IIMC lead faciilitator, PhD Dissertation, University of Minnesota, Coaching in a Diverse World: Coaches' Perceptions of Culture and Intercultural Competence in Coaching, 2017
Are you ready for the exciting challenge of intercultural learning, specifically designed for advanced-level coaches?
The PhD research* conducted by this workshop's facilitator/coach uncovered that being a well-trained, experienced, certified, and renowned coach does not (unfortunately) equal being interculturally effective.
Join fellow coaches for this 2.5 day advanced coach education program for already-experienced, masterful coaches, to add intercultural competence to their collection of coaching strengths. Be a part of an exquisite cohort of committed coaches to discover and strengthen a missing, critical competency that will help equip you for transferring your coaching expertise and practice across various contexts and client diversity.
During the IIMC, you will:
- Gain multiple lenses to increase your self- and other- cultural awareness
- Learn essential intercultural knowledge and frameworks
- Understand what it means to engage in a life-long journey of intercultural development
- Explore how your intercultural awareness, competence, and leadership may be affecting your coaching practice
- Identify goals and action steps for continuing intercultural learning and development after leaving the IIMC
