Intercultural Coaching Case Studies

Abstract

This article presents a series of case studies that examine the practice of intercultural coaching across a range of professional settings. Each case illustrates how coaching methodologies engage with cultural complexity, highlighting the coach’s role in supporting individual, team, and organizational development. While grounded in the intercultural coaching approach pioneered by Philippe Rosinski, the contributions reflect a variety of applications and coaching styles. The cases draw on the Cultural Orientations Framework (COF), a vocabulary to navigate the cultural terrain as well as an assessment tool for enhancing cultural self-awareness, fostering dialogue, and leveraging cultural differences. They exemplify a dynamic and inclusive view of culture, which promotes unity in diversity in place of division and polarization. Through detailed accounts of coaching interventions and outcomes, the article contributes to the academic discourse on intercultural competence and coaching, offering insights for researchers and practitioners concerned with leadership, cultural dynamics, and developmental processes in various contexts.
