Cross-cultural Coaching: Coaching in the Asia Pacific Region

Tony Chapman, Bill Best and Paul Van Casteren

Chapter Chapter 13 in Executive Coaching, 2003, pp 238-256 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract My personal journey into coaching was no road to Damascus revelation. Rather, I enjoyed a meandering journey down a fascinating road to find myself heading the Executive Coaching Centre in New Zealand. As a consulting partner in my own firm, I ended up spending nearly eight years in Hong Kong working in most of the countries in Asia. I have experienced much about the complex cultures of Asia and conducted many fascinating cross-cultural team-building exercises. I know I am only beginning to understand these cultures. Coaching provides an ideal channel for the skills I have learned over the past 25 years as psychologist, consultant and business leader and today I enjoy running the New Zealand sister organisation to the UK Executive Coaching Centre in Auckland.
