“The students enjoyed the topic and connected with the Cultural Detective materials. I think they learned a great deal by digging in to themselves and others. When I first read the lessons I thought they were simple and did not appreciate how deeply you could delve into them. I felt like I was peeling an onion and finally got to the sweet heart of it. I learned a lot, too!”

“Thanks to Cultural Detective the students understand that their values are unique and that their actions reflect their values. I think they also understood that every person has a different set of values that motivate their actions.”

“First, let me tell you again how excited we all are about how well the training went; my team is thoroughly convinced Cultural Detective is an excellent choice of cross-cultural communication methodology. The training we conducted is already proving to be very effective in helping our Customer Services team to engage with our new Australian customers.”

“Finally, survey results have come in. We have achieved, for the first time in my 5 years of working on the Learning and Development team, a 100% satisfaction rating from our learners.
I have received kudos from my managers and the Vice President of Services for having chosen and successfully delivered the Cultural Detective training. But the kudos should really go to you and your company, Kris. Cultural Detective is a rock solid methodology.
Thanks again for all your help making this training possible. When we take our next step into the global market, we know who we will turn to for training solutions.”
Maartje Goodeve, Nascence Coaching, BC, Canada
“The emphasis on values and ‘lenses’ or interpretations is smack-on and invaluable insight for every personal and business relationship. The website and packages are easy to navigate, information is easy to find, and the visuals are supportive and integral to the product.”

“In my search for training that we could purchase and customize to our specific needs, I came across Cultural Detective and discovered that we could, using your materials and methodology, offer our learners much more than the basics. In fact, what I found in Cultural Detective was an approach to cross-cultural communication that would leverage and greatly enhance the communication skills that our team already puts to use every day to achieve shared understanding with our U.S. business-to-business customers.”

“Cultural Detective enabled the students to realize the different perspectives people have because of the various cultures that have impacted who they are.”
Carolyn Rehn, Sr. Organizational Development and Learning Specialist, AFS-USA Intercultural Programs
“Cultural Detective is a wonderful resource that we use to help us bring to light and deal with the differences and adjustment issues that happen in a cross-cultural exchange.”

“The other discovery came when I was working with another trainer on my team whose focus was on our new client company’s marketing strategy and how it evolved over many years in Australia. When he shared his extensive research on that strategy, it was immediately clear that the Australian core values I was covering were at the heart of our client’s branding. Based on that finding, we were able to weave our courses together into a powerful and cohesive curriculum.”

“Learners were able to engage with the Critical Incidents deeply, perceptively, and energetically. We were able to pull out and analyze many ‘clues’ from the incidents, while having a lot of fun doing so!”
