Interkultural Trainer, Lecturer and internationally experienced Manager
My understanding of intercultural communication isn’t limited to textbooks and academic contexts. As a manager, I’ve led international teams for over 20 years and have experienced firsthand just how enriching cultural diversity can be—and how exhausting and stressful it becomes when results must be delivered under pressure.
I combine this practical leadership experience with well-established intercultural and communication models.

YOUR CHALLENGES
The confident handling of cultural differences as well as the ability to understand and interpret the background of behavior play a central role in international business.
-
Have you ever experienced that communication with foreign business partners and colleagues is much more difficult than with people from your own cultural background?
-
Does the cooperation with other cultures cost you a lot of time and energy in your everyday work and yet often does not lead to the desired result?
-
Do you work with Germans and struggle to make yourself understood to your German partners or understand their signals?
-
Do you work witch Chinese and have the impression that you do not know enough about China to understand your counterpart sufficiently?
-
Wouldn't it be great if you had the necessary tools to communicate efficiently and smoothly with Asian partners?
-
Wouldn't it be great if you and your team became a China- or Germany-expert with a crisp, condensed training?
