NAVIGATING CULTURES
Working across cultures can be an adventure.
Trust me…I know!
I’ve spent decades leading teams and building collaborations around the world for companies like National Geographic, Discovery, and Warner Bros. Discovery.
I now apply my global experience to the corporate world, helping organizations navigate the rocky terrain of cross-cultural collaborations and chart a course for success.
When multicultural teams have different ways of working and communicating, the gulf between them can feel as vast as the Sahara.

The challenge of working across cultures
Frustrated? Confused?You’re not alone.
Interpreting cultural differences in the workplace can be as challenging as reading…well, you get the picture.
And when teams and leaders fail, their companies pay the price.
A leader who solicits ideas from her team is considered a “rock star” in one culture – but weak in another.
Your critiques are valued in your country – but a deal-killer in another market.
Your team’s do-or-die deadline? Ignored by your global partners.
Are you just hoping global collaborations will run smoothly, when everyone’s playing with a different rulebook?
Chances are, you’re not getting the results you want.
We can change that.
