Our globalised world means that we increasingly work across cultures
Whatever challenges and opportunities you face, a layer of complexity is added when you work with cultures other than your own. I am familiar with such contexts.
As your career progresses, such situations may become the norm.
However comfortable you feel operating across cultures, it feels different from those situations where you work in a very well-known culture, where everyone “speaks the same language” and unknowingly operates using the same unspoken codes.
Cultures increasingly mingle. Each feels different. There are various ways by which you may be exposed to cultures other than your own:
• Your role spans across several countries
• Your boss or colleagues come from other countries
• You took a role in a country you are not familiar with
• You work for an organisation that has a different culture to yours

I coach with a rich multicultural experience.
I have first-hand experience of the richness of multicultural contexts. This experience enables me to see what makes us different as much as what makes us similar.Professionally
My experience is international:- • I have coached and assessed people from 60 nationalities from most continents
- • The majority of my clients work across cultures
- • I have held pan-European roles
- • I have worked in 4 different countries
- • I have worked for organisations with very different cultural backgrounds
Personally
I have a very solid understanding of how it feels to belong to an international community:- • I have experienced daily life in 6 countries
- • My husband and I have different nationalities
- • I raised my children to be trilingual, embracing the joys of 3 cultures
- • I have travelled in 40 countries, across most continents
