DEIB Practitioners: Intercultural Competencies in Coaching: From East to West with Jihane Labib

In today’s interconnected world, coaches increasingly work with clients across cultures, continents, and belief systems. What happens when coaching approaches developed in one cultural context meet leadership realities shaped by another?

Cultural assumptions influence how people communicate, make decisions, express emotions, and relate to authority. In coaching conversations, these invisible cultural dynamics can either deepen understanding, or create subtle misunderstandings.

This interactive 90-minute workshop explores how intercultural competence can strengthen coaching practice in a global environment.

Through reflections, real-world examples, and practical discussion, participants will explore how culture shapes coaching conversations and how coaches can develop greater awareness and adaptability when working across diverse contexts.
