Dancing Between Cultures: Culturally Intelligent Coaching for Missions and Ministry

Make your cross-cultural conversations count...

Great coaching skills aren't enough to achieve great outcomes cross-culturally. Neglecting to adapt to the increasing cultural diversity of those we serve is like refusing to switch from driving on the right side in North America, to driving on the left in India: unsatisfying outcomes will result! Written by a master coach with a decade of cross-cultural coaching and training experience, Dancing between Cultures is loaded with stories, tips and real life situations designed to help you implement practical faith-based strategies for culturally intelligent coaching. Understanding and adapting to culture is a foundational skill for the twenty-first century coach. Dancing between Cultures is an essential guidebook on your journey to transformational conversations across cultures.

What Others are Saying...

Dancing between Cultures is organized around a values model that you can actually put on your desk and use to change the way you coach. Packed with insights on the influence of cultural issues and stories borne out of years of hands on experience, I can feel the perspective shift inside me as I read it. If you are coaching across cultures--whether in different nations or just different subgroups of your own country--I'd highly recommend this book.

Dancing between Cultures is an engaging, practical, inspiring tool that takes the theory and research on cultural intelligence and makes it highly accessible to ministry coaches. Tina Stoltzfus Horst brings her extensive, first-hand experience coaching cross-culturally to offer a resource I look forward to recommending broadly.
