President of The Lebanon Chapter- Systemic, Mental Fitness, ADHD, Family Coach and Trainer Wonderlust Coaching, Lebanon
Session Description: In an era of globalized leadership, the "one-size-fits-all" western coaching model has reached a new frontier of complexity. This session shifts the narrative from global data to regional wisdom, positioning the MENA region as the vital bridge between the Global North and emerging markets.
By exploring high-context communication and systemic structures, we identify the Middle Eastern landscape as a pioneer of Cultural Intelligence (CQ). Participants will learn how mastering the nuances of the Levant, the Gulf, and North Africa fosters deeper emotional intelligence and sharper systemic thinking.
Led by Ghada Yared, PCC, President of ICF Lebanon, this workshop offers international practitioners the tools to move from literal listening to contextual resonance. Join us to decode the MENA Mosaic and transform cultural complexity from a challenge into your greatest competitive edge.
Learning Objectives::
Decode the High-Context Narrative: Through different frameworks, uncover what is left unsaid moving from literal listening to contextual resonance while building authentic trust.
Navigate Systemic & Cultural Complexity: Account for the "Invisible Stakeholders"—family, community, and hierarchy—that define values and identity in socially complex collective cultures.
Gain a tactical toolkit for cultural alignment to balance cultural expectations with ICF coaching standards and to ensure digital coaching tools respect regional nuances.
