Combining Cultural Detective with Cultural Dimensions
![]() Users love that Cultural Detective provides a process-oriented approach to intercultural effectiveness that is practical, powerful, real, and theoretically sound.

Last week a good friend of mine gave me the book, Revolution of Hope, by former Mexican President (and global nomad) Vicente Fox--a gift as we prepare to relocate to our new home, The United States of Mexico.
