I work with teams on how they communicate,
sell and lead across cultures.
2016. UAE.
New job. New team. Same old Ibo.
Full of energy. Still very "German" when it came to feedback.
Practical. Solution-oriented. Efficient.
At least, that's what I thought I was doing.
Because that's what I was used to.
A few weeks in, half the team complained to HR.
I was shocked. Embarrassed. Scared.
This job meant a lot.
So I did the only thing I could.
I shut up. I listened. And I adapted.
It was a close call. One I've never forgotten.
Ibo
What I learned
Culture doesn't tell you how people are.
It tells you what they're used to.
I can't teach you anything about "the Germans."
But I can show you what's expected in Germany.
Small but important difference.
What I do
A session for a larger audience. A conference, a company day, a leadership offsite. Built around a specific angle relevant to your context.
Smaller groups, more depth. People work through real situations, not slides. The goal is to leave with something usable, not just something interesting.
For leadership teams thinking through cross-cultural challenges. A new market, a merger, a global team that isn't quite clicking yet.
