Our
organizational coaching division offers one-to-one and team coaching
to administrators, managers and executives and their staff.
Our
team of coaches focus on issues of cultural competency and work
with healthcare providers interested in exploring such issues.
Coaching is a process of learning by engaging in one's own cultural
self-assessment, and differs significantly from traditional consulting
services.
Culturally
competent medical practice begins with the provider's commitment
to a lifelong process of learning about people from diverse cultures
and lifestyles. The first step in this process of exploring one's
own cultural heritage is recognizing those factors influencing
one's own views, beliefs, and values - one's own life. Part of
this process is also recognizing the ways in which socioeconomic
status and life experience affect individual knowledge and belief
systems. The reward of these efforts is a deeper understanding
of one's clients, an appreciation of the richness of people's
diverse experiences, and an ability to provide higher quality
and culturally responsive healthcare services.
Through
our creative coaching approach, Mijoba Communications works with
clients in an experience of self-assessment as the first important
step in building awareness and confidence in addressing cross-cultural
differences with clients.
