| Coaching for Global AdvantageSM
enables a global executive to adapt and perform to his or her highest potential
when encountering the unpredictable challenges of international business,
and the unfamiliar mindsets and practices of business associates, from
anywhere
in the world.
- Coaching for Global AdvantageSM ("CGA") is similar to executive coaching in that it addresses performance and developmental needs identified by the coachee and his or her firm. But CGA is different, too: The coach’s mission includes building intercultural competencies for global business success that some coachees and clients aren’t fully aware of, and thus don’t identify as needs. -

- Is CGA a Wholly Different Type of Executive Coaching? - According to partner Willa Hallowell, "Coaching for Global AdvantageSM doesn't take anything away from talented executive coaches. On the contrary, CGA adds value to the work of seasoned coaches by enabling them to deliver greater intentionality whenever they address subtle cross-cultural conundrums. CGA is built on the recognition that cross-cultural challenges rarely show up as clearly recognizable cross-cultural challenges." - GROVEWELL developed Coaching for Global AdvantageSM because executive coaching as generally practiced lacks two attributes critical for it to be genuinely global: (1) research-based intercultural wisdom, and (2) attention to each coachee’s culture-influenced expectations regarding a mentoring- or advising-type relationship. -

| The Unique
Role of the CGA Coach
- In five ways, Coaching for Global AdvantageSM practitioners transcend the typical role of an executive coach: - 1. Anthropological Perspective. Each CGA coach strives to recognize the assumptions and values that animate the coachee’s professional choices and behaviors. This is critical, for it is at this deep, out-of-awareness level that conflicts and misunderstandings arise among businesspeople from diverse backgrounds. - 2. Tailored Way-of-Being. Each CGA coach consciously monitors her way-of-being with the coachee, striving to approximate his home culture’s expectations regarding advising-type relationships. - 3. Contribution to the Agenda. Each CGA coach significantly contributes to the agenda of her work with each coachee. Her mission includes building global competencies that many coachees and clients aren’t even aware of – and thus don’t identify as needs – such as GROVEWELL's Six Imperatives for Global Leadership. - 4. Just-in-Time Intercultural Wisdom. GROVEWELL is heir to the 45-year-old intercultural field’s research-based grasp of the “how” of successful interactions across cultures. The coach’s role is to bring this wisdom to bear, just-in-time, on the coachee’s performance issues and his development as an outstanding global leader. - 5. Focus on Tacit Knowledge. “Tacit knowledge” enables individuals to get things done in cooperation with others; it isn’t merely about what to do; it’s about the nuances of why and especially how to do it that way. The efficacy of this knowledge is sharply reduced when works with others in or from an unfamiliar culture. At the heart of a CGA coach’s approach is this challenge: How can this executive gain locally effective tacit knowledge? |
