“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!”
Nadine LeGros, Language & Communication Instructor, The University of Western Ontario

“I wanted to share that, after taking a few hours to explore CD Online, I am so excited and simply thrilled to finally have had a change to access the collective resources of Cultural Detective! I AM SOLD! I just want to express the excitement I am feeling at this very moment. Whoo Hoo!”
Carolyn Rehn, Sr. Organizational Development and Learning Specialist, AFS-USA Intercultural Programs

“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.”
Dr. Michael Vande Berg, former VP Academic Affairs, CIEE (Council on Int'l Educational Exchange)
“There is no question that our decision to invest in Cultural Detective has turned out, pedagogically and financially, to be a very effective way to teach our students about local values and beliefs that they want and need, and to do so in a way that also teaches them key culture-general concepts and skills.”
Maartje Goodeve, Nascence Coaching, BC, Canada

“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.”
