More Than Words: When Coaching Mindset Matters More Than Fluency

Are you coaching in a language that is not your first?
How does it feel when you coach in another language — and how might that impact your coaching?

Many highly capable coaches notice a shift in these moments — even when they feel fluent in everyday conversation.

There can be moments of hesitation, self-monitoring, or second-guessing.
This is not a question of competence, but of what happens internally in the coaching moment.

This interactive webinar explores that shift through the lens of ICF Core Competency 2: Embodies a Coaching Mindset.

Through guided discussion and small group reflection, participants will:
• Recognise common patterns that emerge when coaching across languages
• Explore what shifts in how they feel and how they show up when coaching begins
• Reconnect with key behaviours within Coaching Mindset that support presence and impact
• Consider how internal pressure may shape the client’s experience of the coaching
