Guests: Jamie Smart & Nicole Lee
The coach’s job is to assist the client in seeing old things in a new way, uncover assumptions, and rise to the challenge of meeting one’s own personal and professional goals. But what happens when coaches don’t have basic cultural competency? Nicole will explore an essential tool that is missing from most coach training programs and how coaches misunderstand their own ability to truly listen and communicate effectively if they don’t have competency in diversity, equity and inclusion.
