About the Webinar

The art of successful cultural integration calls for maintaining integrity of personal identity while striving for deep understanding and appreciation of changing cultural environments and having productive skills for bridging cultural gaps. The main goal of this webinar is to offer participants best practices for developing and strengthening their own and/or their clients’ individual effectiveness in approaching global transitions and creating real rather than illusionary closeness through integrating personal and cultural values. Cultural Detective® as a training, coaching, and personal growth and development methodology offers practical tools to do just that. Innovative approaches offered in this webinar will be applicable to a wide variety of people from refugees to global executives and their families.
