Cultural training solutions spanning cross-cultural communication, leadership development and team integration.


They don’t understand us. We think there is a communication challenge!
We often think that the core issue is poor communication skills. In some cultures, people say what they mean and in other cultures one needs to be able to decipher what is unsaid.
Many factors impact effective and efficient international working, but one of the major factors contributing to cross-border inefficiencies is the unexpected appearance of unknown cultural differences. This shows up in how we communicate, how we lead, how we handle feedback or crisis situations.
Our specialized training goes beyond surface-level etiquette to tackle the core cultural dynamics that directly impact your business performance. Our trainers bring real business experience to every session, ensuring practical solutions that address the real challenges your teams experience in their work.


Starting a new role, a new project stream or something more complicated such as a Merger or Acquisition?
All of these mean, you need to work with people who are from different cultures and with that comes anxiety and uncertainty. It is not enough to realise that you need to adapt; you also need to know how to adapt – and this is where country-specific cultural awareness training becomes essential.
We have run hundreds of country-specific training programs for corporate clients all over the world, which all have one central aim – to help people interact more effectively with the target country and therefore improve business outcomes.
We achieve this aim by ensuring that all of our country-specific training programs are intensely practical and structured to cover the areas of critical importance for each client.


Your organization is busy with growth. There are training needs to be addressed, but it’s so hard to find the time and the commitment.
You are looking for something self-paced, scalable, repeatable and effective!
Our e-learning programs follow our core philosophy, which is to deliver business-oriented learning. We use real-world scenarios to embed learning and incorporate video case studies to provide an immersive and engaging experience. Choose from our Communicating Across Cultures Program, Country-Specific Cultural Awareness Programs or Customized e-Learning Programs.


You have a team in India and you report to a manager in the Netherlands? Do you often feel like you are switching leadership styles and communication styles each day and it is tiring you out? OR
You are managing a team in India and some members remotely in the USA and you don’t know why what works with your India team doesn’t work with the USA team?
How do you ensure your leaders can be effective anywhere in the world? As teams become more global and dispersed, leaders find themselves managing teams across continents without enough understanding of what motivates people in different cultures. Without understanding these cultural expectations, even the most well-meaning managers end up frustrating their teams instead of inspiring them, and yielding poor results.
We help global leaders understand cultural differences and expectations that come with it and equip you with strategies to be agile without getting exhausted.


You want to offer cultural awareness training to every employee in your company, but working with an external partner is too expensive?
If an organization decides to train internally, we prepare trainers in our train-the-trainer programs. These customized programs are designed according to the needs of the organization.
