Tailored to the Scottish context, this interactive workshop will provide Coaches and corporate personnel with new insights into the why's, what's and how's in this challenging area of Coaching.  Attendees will leave with actions that can be implemented immediately, as well as practical tips on how to further develop their own and their organisation’s understanding and capabilities.

Ideally for:

• Executive and Leadership Coaches
• Corporate Coaches and Organisations facing, or likely to face, the challenge of supporting leaders, executives or teams working across cultures and internationally.
• Any Coach interested in working across cultures or with international clients
