Are you an expat, immigrant, or international worker navigating the complexities of cross-cultural interactions?
Did you land in a new team (or country) and feel lost in your interactions?
Do you have a colleague who just doesn't seem to have any "common sense"?
Do recurring misunderstandings cause you stress?
We get it. We also have been there.
Working with others can cause plenty of frustration even when we speak the same language. We come from different backgrounds, grow up through different experiences and as such don’t see the world the same way - not even when we come from the same place.
Add another layer of working remotely, different personalities (maybe even different languages), everyday stress, deadlines and work can become a constant source of tensions: conflicts arise, you have endless meetings with no outcome, and conversations that don’t seem to make sense.
Our tailored individual development packages have a simple philosophy: it's all about you!
We deep dive into your unique traits and preferences, strengthening and transforming your interactions in a way that best supports you.
Partnering with the award-winning Global DISC tool, we untangle why people think and behave differently.
By understanding your individual style and preferences, we uncover the keys to effective communication, collaboration, and leadership, helping you succeed in any work environment.
Get a personalised assessment of how you communicate and behave, followed by a 60-minute conversation (via Zoom) where we dive into the details.
You will leave the session with:
Your investment: 250 euros
In addition to uncovering your preferences and patterns, embark on a journey of growth!
You get everything included in the Growth Package and more:
Access to the Quest: an interactive platform tailored to help you flex your behaviours, so you can tackle work differences with less frustration. 21 bite-sized missions (based on your results), all 100% experiential learning.
Another 60-minute session, where we discuss your experience and any doubts you may have, so you can take this all back to your daily life.
Your investment: 395 euros
Get the whole package (pun intended) and master cultural fluency!

Because it is a practical tool, that brings differences alive and makes them visual. Unlike any other assessment you might have taken, Global DISC doesn't only show you the what and the how.
It also shows you the why, so you actually "see behind the scenes", which helps you to understand differences and flex your behaviour better in different situations, so you will feel less tense about misunderstandings.
Our cross-cultural packages follow the same philosophy as our other ones: it's all about you! We dive deep, so you are not only prepared to deal with one country or culture, but also develop cultural fluency you can use anywhere.
We deep dive into your unique traits and preferences and explore why people from different cultures think and act differently. And with that we help you land in your new home with more confidence, ready to discover and navigate your new environment.
Using the cutting-edge Global DISC tool, we identify your communication and behavioural preferences and compare those to your destination/chosen country, so you have clear guidance - not on the "do-s and don't-s", but on understanding the roots of the differences you might experience.
Disclaimer: There are 70+ countries in our database, but your chosen one might not be one of them - if your destination is not a common one and you want to make sure we have it on the list, don't hesitate to reach out to double-check!
Get a personalised assessment of how you communicate and behave, combined with a 90-minute conversation (via Zoom) where we dive into the details. We also spend some time talking about your destination/chosen country and where the interaction gaps may be based on your profile.
You will leave the session with:
Your investment: 325 euros
