Cultural Agility Coaching
Cultural agility means being able to work and build relationships with other cultural groups without leaving one’s own culture behind.
Cultural agility coaching is for Canadians in a position of leadership or influence who want to improve their comfort and capability in working with Indigenous Peoples.
Over the last several years there has been an increased expectation that people working in leadership roles should be comfortable navigating complex conversations and decision-making related to Indigenous interests. However, learning opportunities to build this capability (beyond a level of simple ‘awareness’) are few and far between.
This one-on-one guided learning program is designed to support individuals working in a variety of sectors to increase their comfort and capability with respect to Indigenous interests in engagement, decision-making, and inclusion.
Anne has developed several courses, workshops, and learning experiences to help Canadians build awareness and understanding about the history and experiences of Indigenous Peoples. She has delivered training to thousands of people over the last ten years, and prides herself on “connecting the dots” to help Canadians know better, so that they can do better with respect to Indigenous relations.
“As an organization that has considerable influence in shaping the story around opportunity and prosperity in Alberta and Canada, the Cultural Agility Training program was an invaluable opportunity to better understand our organization’s role in advancing reconciliation and shaping a place—and an economy—where everyone can contribute and thrive.
Anne creates a safe and empathetic space to explore your personal story around reconciliation and supports your journey to building and sharing that knowledge with others.
In particular, I appreciated the focus on creating relationships with Indigenous communities, and the relationships I have now built from this program have not only amplified the impact of this training but also helped me continue this work beyond the training itself.”
“My colleague and I participated in Anne’s Cultural Agility Training program, which was personalized to meet our individual goals and business needs. Anne supported us to establish and accomplish specific goals, and led us on a journey to improve our awareness and understanding of Indigenous Peoples’ history and varied experiences. She created a trusting space and used language that encouraged critical and reflexive thinking. Anne openly shared her knowledge and answered all of our questions. She encouraged us to take action, ‘do better’ and mobilize our knowledge.
Thank you Anne, for the opportunity to work with you. I look forward to more learning experiences with you in the future!”
