Overview: Despite our efforts to establish universal languages and competencies in business and leadership, it's vital to remember that we serve a diverse spectrum of leaders. They come from varied backgrounds, genders, cultures, faiths, skill sets, experiences, languages, and face their unique limitations and challenges.
While systems and frameworks offer convenience and efficiency for coaches, to truly meet our clients where they are, we must lead with a full understanding of their lived experience to make coaching relevant and transformative - underscoring the importance of establishing context in coaching.
- What is context?
- Why is context in coaching critical?
- What are the benefits of context?
- How do we co-create context with our clients?
