Moving to a new country or entering a new international work environment involves more than learning the language. Professional expectations, communication styles, workplace relationships and social conventions can differ considerably from one culture to another.

Integrating smoothly into a team that is made up of colleagues or partners that come from different cultures than your own can be challenging - I know this firsthand from my own work experience. Also as a leader it can be challenging to address individuals in a way that truly reaches them and creates good working relationship.

Companies realize that cultural interferences oppose team cohesion and mutual understanding among employees and invest in team building activities. Respecting each individual with their cultural background ensures satisfaction among employees and long-lasting relationships.

I can help you navigate these challenges with confidence. Through personalized coaching, we will explore the cultural expectations you encounter in your professional environment, identify potential sources of misunderstanding and confusion and develop communication strategies that work effectively in your new cultural setting.

We will:

• analyze the challenges you are facing

• develop strategies for building effective cross-cultural communication 

• understand how to make personal connections with co-workers from a different culture that are strong enough to support effective collaboration

• simulate situations that you now feel you are not equipped to handle and lead you to master them

• create a sense of ease in you for the given situation

• achieve success on the international stage

Whether you are relocating abroad, starting work with an international company, working with colleagues from another cultural background, or expanding your business into a new market, I can help you adapt your communication and professional behavior to your new environment.
