It was my pleasure to follow the Introduction to Cross-Cultural Management course. The cultural difference approach facilitates communication, motivation, and giving feedback in multicultural or foreign environments. Instead of breaking walls, you can easily open doors."

Anonymous, Course Participant

Fantastic communicator, very clear, collected and eloquent. As a result of these skills, we maximised the hour for all the sessions. Guest speakers were all great too.

Anonymous, Programme Participant

Really enjoyed the discussions and input from different participants and learning from their unique backgrounds and perspectives. This added depth and context to the theories discussed. Case studies were helpful in contextualising the theories further. The speakers were eloquent and engaging.
