Stop Teaching Cultural Differences. Start Teaching Cultural Adaptation

Stop Teaching Cultural Differences. Start Teaching Cultural Adaptation

?? Here's a truth that took me years to discover: We've been solving the wrong cultural problem.

For decades, the cultural training world has been laser-focused on understanding differences. And don't get me wrong - that's incredibly valuable when someone's struggling to understand why others act differently.

But here's the plot twist: In my work, that's rarely the main challenge people bring to me.

The real struggle? It's not about knowing the differences - it's about actually adapting your behavior across cultures. It's about stepping outside your cultural comfort zone without feeling like you're putting on an act.

And here's the kicker: If you try to solve this adaptation challenge with a differences framework, you'll hit a wall. Fast.

That's exactly why I created the Global Dexterity framework and the Global Dexterity Certification Program. It's built for the real challenge: helping people develop the insights, strategy, and yes - the courage - to adapt behavior across cultures while staying true to themselves.

Our community of certified practitioners is doing this work worldwide, and we're opening doors to our next certification cohort soon.

Ready to help solve the real cultural challenge? Join us. ?

On February 27th, we're having a free informational webinar for you to learn more about the program. You can sign up for that here.

If you know you'd like to do the certification and want to be notified as soon as we announce the next cohort dates, you can sign up here.
