Drawing on this experience, I provide coaching, training, and advice to corporate and government clients to boost their cross-cultural capabilities.

My intercultural guidance is trusted by companies like Boeing, Nike, PepsiCo, and Mastercard, as well as the Australian Government and United Nations agencies. I also serve on several advisory panels, including those for the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and the Australian Public Service Commission.
