Connect, Collaborate & Lead Effectively Across Cultures

Intercultural Coaching for professional growth and cultural awareness.

In today’s interconnected world, appreciating and understanding cultural differences is essential for effective leadership, communication, and collaboration.

Whether you're in a leadership role, a professional in any field, or simply working on increasing your self-awareness, developing intercultural competence helps you to become adaptable.

Intercultural coaching focuses on how we relate to different cultures and how we can understand and co-exist with cultural differences effectively. The coaching journey begins by creating a space to explore your identity which encompasses values, heritage and beliefs and how these shape your interactions.

This process allows you to be seen and heard, bringing forward aspects of your identity that may have been hidden in your personal and professional life. By exploring worldviews, you understand yourself and others better. You can strengthen relationships on a global scale and promote unity in diversity as these conversations focus on what connects us.

I use a number of tools, the primary one is the Cultural Orientations Framework, an intercultural assessment tool which facilitates meaningful conversations about cultures.

With a holistic and integrated approach, you’ll build self-awareness and develop the skills you need to succeed in a multicultural world.

Intercultural coaching is suitable for individuals, groups, or teams and we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. As a result, you’ll have a competitive advantage because you connect better with people.

What is Intercultural Coaching?

Hi, I’m Rita

I’m a qualified executive coach specialising in intercultural coaching, with a passion for raising cultural awareness and exploring what culture means to everybody.

I believe when you shift your perspective, increase your self-awareness, you can see things in a new light. It's about having those insights, followed by reflection and positive change, no matter where you are in your journey.

Every conversation has the potential for a ripple effect, where small changes lead to bigger transformations in how you interact with the world. I aim to cultivate a space where all voices are heard, especially those that are often hidden or lost.

  • “Rita and I had six sessions I was really surprised at how much we were able to achieve in what felt like a short time.

    As part of the clear goals she encouraged me to set was something that I truly did not believe I would be able to achieve. Rita enabled me to think more deeply about the things in my life that were holding me back and stopping me be the best I can be. I have previously had sessions of CBT and counselling and so I was surprised when Rita enabled me to develop a new perspective on what was holding be back and ways to overcome my fears and hesitancies.

    At the end of the sessions, I had achieved my goal and honestly this has had an enormous impact on my life, I now feel like I can achieve anything If I put my mind to it, I no longer look at challenges with fear and trepidation but more like opportunities to learn and develop.

    Rita has altered my entire mindset and perspective on things and I cannot thank her enough.”

  • “Thank you Rita for all of the sessions in the last six months.

    As a retired police officer I just felt very lost in the world and couldn't seem to see where I wanted to go next.

    You enabled me to see my life goals clearly and to identify thoughts that were holding me back and to reframe these. This has helped ease so many stresses and anxieties and I am so grateful for you.

    You gave me the tools so that I could identify who I am, where I want to be, along with giving me life skills so that I can glide through life which before just felt very clunky.

    In our sessions, you provided a safe, secure place for growth to occur.

    Rita, your style, support and guidance has been tremendous

    I completely recommend you to anyway who wants an insightful, non judgemental and supportive Coach.”

  • “I really enjoyed the sessions I have had with Rita.

    The sessions helped me take a step back and structure my thoughts in a way that it was then much easier to think about about what to do next and how to articulate a plan to achieve my goals”

  • Ravelmind has far exceeded my expectations of coaching on account of Rita’s perceptive, non-judgemental, and effective insights and techniques that enabled me to reflect on the underlying cause of my career-inhibiting behavior!

    I sought Rita’s coaching for conquering the last stretch of my PhD journey (finishing my thesis), while dealing with a plethora of personal and professional challenges/distractions. I can truly say, Rita has been instrumental in my personal and doctoral studies development.

    I especially appreciate her helping me engage with reflexive practices like consciously eradicating ineffective habits that hinder my goals (e.g., consistent academic writing)! goes here.

  • “Rita is a wonderful, warm, intuitive and collaborative life coach who actually listens to and understands her clients’ needs. Rita is very good at putting people at ease and getting them to open up. She has an ability to get to the heart of any matter, and challenge those self-doubts that we all experience.

    Before my first session I felt overwhelmed by career aspirations and my personal circumstances. Rita helped me clarify my life goals and what was really important to me. She helped me reach my own conclusions rather than direct me. In the first few weeks I started to relax into sessions and look forward to them instead of feeling I did not have the time. When reflecting on our conversations between sessions I started to see things more clearly and became more assertive and decisive in personal and work circumstances.

    Rita’s coaching is very based around your needs. Rita is happy to make suggestions with starting points and prompts so you never feel lost I would highly recommend Rita to anyone who may feel stuck in career or personal life and who may need a little push.”

    -Helena, Ireland -

  • “Rita provided such an eye-opening coaching experience that really allowed me to reflect on myself, my motivations and challenges, and how to navigate situations.

    Rita provided a safe space and an open dialogue that offered me the opportunity to challenge my own thinking and understanding. She also provided me with several tools such as the Ikigai framework that helped me to continue my coaching out of sessions.

    Rita even went above and beyond to explore topics outside of the sessions and send me additional findings and links. All In all, would thoroughly recommend Rita as a coach.”
