BUSINESS OF COACHING DETAILS
Presenter: Aubrie Abbott & Antimo Cimino
Topic: Intercultualism & The Coaching Profession : Opening Our Practice
Description: In our program we will be inviting particpants to increase their knowledge and toolkits in regards to interculturalism. We will inform the group on the importance and relevance of being intercultural, as a collective (NWCA, larger coaching profession) and for individual coaching practices. Handouts will include examples of ready to use ideas to expand outreach, improve marketing and resources in the community.
Bio: Aubrie's pursuit of learning and variety have led her through many careers, countries and communities. In her work at Nike, she ran the company's first Cultural Assessment for the Office of Global Diversity (reaching all global employees & translated into 7 languages). She now has her own practice coaching anyone on how to get clear on what they want and go for it. Aubrie is continually curious and inspired by how each person's unique set of cultural values informs their decision-making.
Life in the USA leads Antimo to expressing his talents and using his passions to teach Italian, conduct workshops on Intercultural Competence and Awareness, become a published photographer and most recently a proud project manager. Currently, Antimo works for a Global Consulting Firm (Oliver Wyman) with top Fortune 500 companies who challenge him constantly on the intercultural front.

Through a fast-paced interactive process, this program will introduce you to 14 different aspects of intercultural communication theory and practice geared toward raising your awareness of intercultural issues in coaching.
Upon completion, you will be given a resource list including local and far-flung organizations, theories and methodologies, all of which are geared toward your core competencies, supporting you in becoming the most proficient, interculturally-sensitive coach you can possibly be.
