An important part of intercultural coaching is the personal examination of one's own values. The question of how your values affect your own behavior and your cooperation and communication with international colleagues. In the usual coaching setting, it is mainly the conscious values that are considered and examined for their influence on one's own perception, thinking and actions. In intercultural coaching, clients also gain access to unconscious values by comparing their own cultural value system with a foreign cultural value system. This comparison of two or more cultures enables the client's own values to become visible. Previously, the cultural value system was taken for granted to such an extent that the individual was no longer aware of it. The degree of irritation triggered by the cultural comparison also provides an indication of how important one's own value is to the individual, or how little one was aware of this value. In addition to exploring their own values, intercultural coaching also strengthens tolerance of ambiguity by teaching clients to exchange "right and wrong thinking" and "either-or thinking" for "both-and thinking" and to tolerate the ambiguity of things. Ideally, this expands the client's own range of possibilities, increases creativity and the coachee learns to engage with the other person's values with curiosity and interest, while at the same time preserving their own, possibly even contradictory values.
