Our Services
Keynote Addresses
This dynamic and interactive 60-120 minute keynote address will provide participants with a framework for thinking about cultural differences through practical strategies for working globally. Participants learn to decode how people think, lead, and get things done, when working in an international environment, and develop strategies to manage these differences effectively.
Global Leadership
Through our research on more than 200 effective global leaders, we have identified 10 key behaviors that help successful global leaders reach their goals. We utilize these behaviors, mapped to your own leadership competencies, to create customized global leadership programs focused on team development strategies.
Global Coaching
Karen is a CTI (Coach Training Institute) certified co-active coach. Using her knowledge of cultural differences combined with coaching technique, Karen works with global leaders and team members to assist them in increasing their effectiveness. Co-Active coaching is an experience of personal and professional development unlike other kinds of coaching because it recognizes the client as completely capable of facing their own challenges rather than instructing or advising.
Multicultural Team-Building
Intact teams, representing various cultures, will explore cultural similarities and differences that impact day-to-day success. They will also map their cultural similarities and differences utilizing the Culture Map framework and develop strategies for increasing team synergy, facilitating their ability to reach business goals.
Train-the-Trainer
If you have a high volume of cross-cultural training within your organization and internal facilitators with global experience, the Culture Map Train-the-Trainer may be a good solution for you. Karen will work with you to design a custom Culture Map powerpoint with trainers notes. You will purchase the intellectual property rights for this deck and a group of globally dispersed internal facilitators will go through an onboarding process to enable them to facilitate the program virtually or face-to-face.
Cross-Cultural Facilitation
This session, available in full, half-day and virtual formats, will leverage the Culture Map framework to help participants identify how they are similar and different from their international counterparts. The impact of those differences and strategies can help them to be just as or more successful working globally as they would be in a single-culture setting.
