Our Coaches are committed to continuously raising
their self-awareness, insight, and empathy
Many people have written about the importance of self-awareness as a core part of multicultural competence. Paul Pedersen (1990) wrote that insight is a critical component in effective counseling to help people understand what their “in group” is, what categories they may be using with clients, and what attributes they associate with those categories. Insight is dependent on a high level of knowledge, awareness, and skill. These three factors make up the fundamental components of multicultural competence. As a career services provider, your ability to generate insights for your clients is dependent on your understanding of the prominent cultural contexts in each client’s life. That understanding is filtered through the practitioner’s own cultural lens (Pedersen, 1990). Pedersen encouraged practitioners to begin with an understanding of themselves and their cultural assumptions.
Career practitioners’ multicultural competence and insight are not solely a by-product of deliberate avoidance of cultural myths, but instead are a result of addressing their own culture-specific assumptions.
