This coaching resource does an excellent job of clarifying the purpose and role of a coach, while offering a deeper and more nuanced exploration of the Intercultural Development Continuum (IDC) and how we can be more intentional when coaching toward greater intercultural competence. It serves as a thorough, accessible, and well-organized reference—detailed yet easy to navigate. I see this as a truly valuable resource for anyone supporting intercultural growth with their coachees.
