Relational Styles Across Cultures
Ch 6 Dinking from the Same Well by Johnson
"Ring of concentric circles encompassing the individual, the family, and the culture" (89)
"Culturally blended" - when families are a mix of cultures in the family. Counselor needs to be aware of this and know that the family may not have the same idea of a "healthy family" as they do. (89-90)
Cross-cultural family is looking at both intercultural dimension (differences in family norms between cultures) and intracultural dimension (cultural differences within a family). (91)
The idea of "family" may also hold different ideas as well. Some may just be the nuclear family, while others include the entire family of uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents. (91)
"levels of acculturation"- degrees of adjustment to the dominant culture or, in the case of intermarriage, the degree of accommodation of each spouse to the other's culture (92).
"bilingualism" - this plays into the counseling as well. Many families speak more than one language at home, but if the parents do not speak the "common language", then it is best if a counselor can be found that speaks the same language as the parents because of putting a strain on the relationship between parents and child if they are to be the translators for the parents. Not the best idea... (92-94)
Ways to counsel a family from a non-Western family 1) focus on trust building and encourage families to speak freely while respecting the cultural norms 2) involve the collective wisdom of the elders of the community, members of the extended family and perceived wisdom of the ancestors 3) revisiting model of the sangomas - traditional diviners and healers (96-97) Not sure how the last 2 work out...would need more information and clarity of this to be comfortable using it.
Theology of the Family - no right family system, but to be aware of what the family systems are: group self - family self. (99) Christian's thought is that family is a covenant with each other and to imitate the unconditional love of God (100)
Family can be sought out in other places if nuclear family is dysfunctional. "Family is our most intimate network of mutual love, those persons to whom we can turn for acceptance, understanding, reconciliation, and forgiveness" (100)
Ch 6 Coaching Across Cultures by Rosinski
"Who are you?" Be ready for a wide range of answers (105)
Being/Doing - need both, but "more being is usually necessary to ultimately get more doing" (106)
As a coach, need to make sure to focus on the internal state, not just external (106)
Group must have trust, mutual respect, and self-awareness (106)
Individualistic/Collectivistic - On a team/business you need both and should leverage them both (111-113)
"Good coaches avoid 'groupthink'" and manipulation (113)
Coaching Tool: Collages - Map out team member's desires (114) which shows areas of overlapping for group projects. The collages also begin bridging gaps and bringing commonality amongst the group. Connections are made. (115-116)
Ch 8 Coaching Across Cultures by Rosinski
Protective/Sharing - difference in appropriate physical distance from culture to culture. Hall has 4 types: intimacy distance, personal distance, social distance, and public distance (142).
Psychological space is what Rosinski calls "territory" and refers to the amount of personal life and feelings one shares (142)
Need to challenge the assumption that protective means keeping things private - need to be wise about what and with who, but sharing some things can bring connectiveness within the group. (143)
Johari Window - helpful tool to unmask and find blind spots.(145)
Tips on giving feedback p146-147/ Tips on receiving feedback on p148
Coaching Tool: Feedback and Self-Disclosure - video a group discussion and then playback with set guidelines. (151-152)
Ch 7 Coaching Across Cultures by Rosinski
Need to appreciate the organizations coachees take part in as it is also influenced by culture. (117)
Hierarchy/Equability - "coaching relationship assumes equality" (123)
Constructive Politics - helpful when working with a client, but also more so when working with a group as there are 4 types of people. The chart on p124 helpful (123-`124)
Universalist/Particularist - need to be flexible in approach. Also, monoculture models can be useful if "cultural limitations are understood" (128)
Stability/Change - "process has occurred through evolutions and revolutions" (129)
"The art of coaching is to adapt your style to the situation, which intentionally does not exclude stretching the coachee outside his comfort zone"(131-132)
Competitive/Collaborative - need balance and wisdom to know which is better to lean towards in certain situations (133-138)
reframe "resistance to change" to "preference for stability" (132)
