Every client brings a unique combination of life experiences, identities, values, beliefs, and personality characteristics into the coaching relationship. Developing multicultural competence means learning to recognize and appreciate those differences while minimizing the assumptions that can unintentionally interfere with effective coaching.

This engaging 90-minute course takes a fresh approach to multicultural competence by combining traditional diversity concepts with Kim Olver's unique personality-based animal learning model. Rather than focusing solely on demographic differences, participants explore how personality, privilege, lived experience, and unconscious assumptions influence communication, trust, and connection..

Through practical examples, self-reflection, and immediately applicable coaching strategies, you'll learn how to replace judgment with curiosity,

strengthen rapport with diverse clients, and create coaching relationships where people feel understood, respected, and empowered.
