Why Us
Culture is invisible, yet it impacts nearly everything today. Oftentimes, when we are working, living, or studying in an international environment, we simply don’t know what we don’t know. We function in a stage of “unconscious incompetence”, unaware of our cultural assumptions and biases.

As a result, cultural competencies become intuitive and automatic over time and our clients shift to a mindset of “unconscious competence”.
