Individual Cultural Identity Coaching

Individual cultural identity coaching aims to educate and empower individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds across the globe, enabling them to reconnect with and embrace their cultural identity without fear of judgment. Through this coaching, individuals are guided to explore and discover aspects of their cultural heritage, fostering personal growth and a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

By uncovering their true selves, individuals gain confidence, become comfortable in their own skin, and no longer feel the need to apologize for their authentic identity. Moreover, coaching helps individuals heal past wounds, establish clear boundaries, and cultivate meaningful relationships.

What is Cultural Identity & Inclusion?

Inclusion is the cornerstone of a thriving and equitable workplace that empowers individuals to contribute their best and thrive collectively.

What is Cultural Diversity?

An environment where individuals feel a sense of belonging and workplaces foster a culture where every person's unique talents, perspectives, and experiences are valued and embraced.

But here's the truth

It doesn't have to be this way

When we can balance cultural identity and inclusion we are able to foster a sense of belonging, compassion, and limitless possibilities, resonating with the truth that our differences are what make us truly extraordinary and therefore a power asset to any individual and organisation with culturally diverse backgrounds.

STEP ONE

Clarity of core identity & alignment with core values

Coaching you to have a clear understanding of your authentic self and the unique qualities and characteristics that define you. Alignment with core values means living in accordance with your fundamental beliefs and principles, which guide your decision-making and behavior. When your core identity and values are aligned, it can lead to a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and authenticity in life.

STEP TWO

Clarity of cultural limiting beliefs and ideas

Clarity of cultural limiting beliefs and ideas involves recognising and understanding the cultural biases and beliefs that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential. This includes being aware of how cultural norms, traditions, and societal expectations can shape your mindset and influence your behaviour. By gaining clarity on these limiting beliefs and ideas, you can challenge them and work towards creating a more empowering and inclusive personal and cultural narrative.

STEP THREE

Letting go of unnecessary limiting beliefs

Letting go of unnecessary limiting beliefs involves identifying and challenging the negative beliefs that are holding you back from reaching your full potential. This includes recognising how these beliefs were formed, understanding their impact on your life, and actively working to replace them with more positive and empowering beliefs. By letting go of limiting beliefs, you can overcome self-doubt and fear, and achieve greater success and happiness in your personal and professional life.

STEP FOUR

Reframe your life story for an empowering cultural and personal identity

Supporting you to examine the events and experiences of your life through a lens of resilience, growth, and positivity. This includes recognizing and reframing any negative beliefs or self-talk, identifying and celebrating personal strengths and achievements, and finding meaning and purpose in your life experiences. By creating an empowering narrative, one can develop a stronger sense of self and cultural identity, and live a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

FATIMA

Lebanese-born who grew up in Australia from the age of 3. Through my own journey of rediscovering my true identity, I realised how important it is to acknowledge and honour our cultural roots.

Life now, for me, is a journey of self-discovery and growth. I have learned to accept and love myself for who I am, and it's a liberating feeling. I no longer feel the need to conform to societal norms or other people's expectations, and it's empowering. I am passionate about helping others find their true selves and live an authentic life. I believe that when we embrace our cultural identity, we can connect with our true essence and live a more fulfilling life.

But it wasn't always this way...

Growing up my story is one of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. As a young Lebanese girl in Australia, I experienced profound cultural identity challenges due to discrimination and assimilation. From a young age, I was forced to hide my identity and assimilate to Western culture. When I came to Australia from Lebanon at the age of three, my family had to enrol me in preschool, primary, and high school as Fiona, not as Fatima (my birth name), to assimilate into Australian culture. Whenever I introduced myself as Fatima, I faced bullying and isolation through my childhood, teen and adult life. As a result of this and many other assimilation aspects I had to mask my true identity and try hard to fit into the Western world.
