Don't just tick the box, open it

Why intercultural skills?

Today’s world is so interconnected that intercultural skills are not just important—they’re essential. We encounter situations daily in workplaces, social settings, in our neighborhoods, and even on holidays where effectively engaging across different values, attitudes, and perspectives is crucial.

Intercultural competence supports clearer communication and better decision-making, whether you're leading a team, shaping policy, engaging communities, advocating for a cause, or working in diverese teams, across borders or departments.

And what does it involve?

My approach goes beyond cultural dos and don’ts or spotting surface-level differences. We already know that variation exists within our cultures as much as between them.

Instead, we explore the building blocks of our perspectives and identities. We question what culture is and how our worldviews shape how we understand and are understood.

Through storytelling, case studies, tools from different fields, and interactive exercises, I offer skills you can practice and frameworks that will continually expand how you think and what you see.
