Cross-Cultural

Adapt to Others and Succeed in Your Integration

The key to success in an intercultural environment lies in the ability to understand the strengths or weaknesses of one’s own intercultural skills, rather than simply trying to replicate supposedly “good” attitudes. Especially for candidates for expatriation, we offer the opportunity to discover your true relationship with interculturality without judgment and learn how to live abroad not as you “should” live there, but as you can live there based on your own personality.

Our intercultural coaching offers a realistic and pragmatic approach, not just feel-good sentiments.

Our approach to intercultural coaching aims to foster a deep understanding of oneself, others, and the intercultural environment in which we operate. We emphasize the importance of developing intercultural awareness in order to realize our full potential as individuals who can navigate effectively and harmoniously in multicultural contexts.

Our approach is based on a combination of concepts from anthropology, sociology, and psychology, as well as a variety of recognized tests. We provide personalized support that allows participants to explore their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that impact their intercultural relationships.

We help our clients understand their own motivations and develop the necessary skills to live with others, participate in, or effectively lead intercultural teams.
