What happens when an experienced coach steps beyond the comfort of their native language?
In this episode of Language Explorers, I speak with Sylvie Filipski, a seasoned coach, supervisor, and mentor who works regularly in multiple languages, including English.
We explore how coaching in a foreign language can reshape not only the coaching process but also the coach’s identity, confidence, and ability to connect with clients from different backgrounds.
Sylvie shares the advantages and challenges she’s encountered, her perspective on embracing imperfections, and how she tunes into the music of each language to enhance her coaching practice.
If you’re curious about how language influences human connection, this episode is for you!
Moreover, if you’re a coach looking to expand your practice internationally and wondering what it’s like to coach in a foreign language, you’re sure to find “food for thought” here!
