Senior Instructional Designer, Major Payroll Services Organization
“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.”
Staff, one of the world’s largest companies in their industry
“It taught me that when you are communicating across cultures, you need to give time for people to grasp what is being talked about, and time for everyone to establish a common structure of understanding about cultural backgrounds and assumptions.”
Maartje Goodeve, Nascence Coaching, BC, Canada
“I recommend a Cultural Detective subscription to anyone who is involved in any way with other cultures. Individuals, families, organizations and corporations all will benefit. Like the slogan states, it will increase productivity and strengthen relationships.”
Diversity & Inclusion Director, tasked with creating Global Inclusion Team
“When a situation occurs, I don’t automatically take it as an attack on me or at a personal level. I realize people are driven by values, which keep me open to dialogue and understanding, minimizing conflict especially at work.”
People to People International (PTPI) Global Youth Forum Leader
“During Cultural Detective students worked as team members to understand more about who they are: the value of exploring other people's values and discovering ways of making valuable connections with others.”
Nadine LeGros, Language & Communication Instructor, The University of Western Ontario
“Using Cultural Detective is a wonderful way to inform ourselves of cultural tendencies and to try to anticipate how our behaviour and messages might be perceived or misperceived by members of other cultures.”
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.”
Senior Instructional Designer, Major Payroll Services Organization
“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.”
Business Director, large multinational corporation
“One of the most valuable learnings has to be the ease with which miscommunication happens. To stand back and assess a situation and the ability to consider other needs/wants will help me in the future.”
Director, multinational consumer products organization
“The biggest impact was that it sped up my learning curve; it allowed me to become a part of the team more quickly. I was able to have an impact on the business sooner than if I hadn’t done the coaching.”
