Curiosity, empathy and and cross cultural innovation with Cliff Scott
01/01/24 • 65 min
Cross cultural efforts can be a minefield. Cliff's areas of geographic focus are mainly post colonial countries in Asia. As a white dude American, Cliff knows the pitfalls. What's surprising the how these challenges can become an innovation superpower via the intention of care and the skills of empathy and cognitive perspective taking.
Cliff is most passionate about helping teams and organizations through transformations, enabling them to succeed in new levels of complexity. Supporting leaders in their ability to rise to the challenges of rapid change when prior ways of leading seem to fall short is some of the most joyful work he does. He believes those who find deeper connection to their purpose and practice ways of deepening their self-awareness are able to see and let go of beliefs and assumptions limiting their effectiveness as leaders. He finds joy in helping others look inward with courage to encounter what holds them back to release themselves from what hinders their greatness.
His practice ranges from online and in-person leadership program design and delivery as well as executive and team/cohort coaching. Clients worked with have been in major manufacturing, hi tech, bio tech, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, land development, financial services, US Navy, including start-ups, family run conglomerates, mid size and Fortune 500 companies in the US, Europe, Australia and SE Asia. He is trained in Presence-based and Growth Edge coaching methods, also is certified to use Leadership Circle framework of assessments and the MBTI. He is also a member of the global faculty for Leadership Circle Certifications.
