International Management Coaching

Our consultants provide coaching services in France, the United Kingdom, Belgium and Holland in French, English and Dutch. At different stages of their international careers Managers need to develop new competencies and behaviors. It is reassuring for them to work with an experienced coach who has also had to handle the challenges that can range from settling in as an expatriate to understanding a new company's culture.

Our approach is to help managers build on their talents and concrete experience and to take their company climate and team into account while we do so. This means that we have extensive experience in both one-to-one coaching and teamwork. In today's organization, which has to learn continually, every leader must be able to reflect knowledgeably about how to make the most of what they are naturally good at doing. It is amazing how many managers put down to "luck" systematically good results which in fact stem from their talents. However, a leader should also know how to surround him or herself with people who have talents that compensate for his or her weaknesses. We can help a manager to reflect on his or her professional practice in such a way that s/he will get even better results. All of our coaches in Europe teach at MBA level in French and/or English and know the North American models of management and leadership.


	Our approach We use psychometric methods such as KAI and Marston's Colors, in association with the type of deep questioning found in appreciative inquiry. We also bring into play the learning of Hofstede, Philip d'Iribarne, Edward T. Hall, Trompenaars and Hampden Turner and we help managers to make the necessary links between their concrete experience and pragmatic intercultural frameworks. Each coaching session ends with an action plan. Each session begins with reflection on the previous set of actions. Customization The content of every one of our coaching programmes is always adapted to the managers specific needs.
