“No more questions”: Propelling the move to culturally congruent coaching

Your Presenter: Nagesh Rao

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 @ 11:30 AM EDT

Among the International Coach Federation (ICF) core competencies is a strong emphasis on asking "powerful" questions. Direct and linear communication is inherent in the ICF definition of competent coaching. However, in order to serve a diverse group of clients from around the world it is important to decolonize the ICF approach. This session shows ways for a coach to have high cultural self-awareness, a deep understanding of their client’s culture, and use culturally congruent coaching methods for the client to reach their goals.  Culturally congruent coaching is a form of intercultural competence where the coach and client have a dynamic and symbiotic relationship.
