A crucial value we can add as coaches is to offer processes that can help participants determine and achieve their desired outcomes.
Before I describe what we did, let me say a few words about the Cultural Orientations Framework (COF) assessment, which was a key tool in our approach.
Incidentally, the COF also gives us a language to describe salient traits of a culture.
It can be used to describe the specificities of a “global coaching culture,” what may be missing in the current culture for it to be considered a “global coaching culture,” and to stimulate a conversation about specific cultural gaps to be bridged, avenues for development.
