I gave this talk to the Minnesota Career Development Association‘s Transformative Tuesdays conference in April 2021. Due to COVID-19, they transformed their annual conference into a series of sessions held on each Tuesday in April.

In the talk, I focus on transforming a coach’s practice (personal coaching, not athletic) into a culturally responsive environment for your diverse clients. I bring some clarity on what cultural responsiveness means and focus on the value of personal narratives. I provide some thoughts on building trust in cross-cultural partnerships between coach and client. Finally, I share a neuroscience-based approach to developing new skills-sets.
