“Jamie from Cultural Mixology presented a training seminar on intercultural awareness at our annual program meeting, and not only was the content compelling, but she presented it in a way that felt fresh and relevant. She provided our global team with a framework to openly discuss ideas and challenges, while maximizing the limited time that we had together. Jamie was a thoughtful and highly-prepared speaker, and I hope to have other opportunities to work with her.”

“In a few lines that I could share right now, I had an incredible experience working with Jamie. She is not only really professional but also super engaging and knowledgeable. Even though Jamie and I moved a bit far from the topics we planned to discuss, she prepared new material on the go that was really good for the topics we talked about! In my opinion, I could not have had a better experience. There aren’t enough words to express how professional and incredible the training was that she provided. Highly recommended!”

“Jamie provided an excellent cultural training session to military spouses headed to overseas assignments. Her training was extremely well received and provided a unique look at your brain’s adaptation process to the new cultural environment. Jamie’s professionalism and calm demeanor encouraged excellent classroom discussion and participation. Jamie provides information that can be applied in any setting. We are excited to invite her back to the virtual classroom!“

“Jamie delivered a training webinar for the Upwardly Global alumni community of 3500+ immigrant professionals from over 140 countries. Working with her on this project, it was clear that Jamie is a focused, results-driven and high-energy professional. Her presentation was rich, inspiring and transformational. Drawing from her deep knowledge and understanding of success factors in multicultural settings, Jamie provided nuggets of wisdom to guide our alumni community of foreign-trained professionals in understanding the critical skills and behavior for success in the US workplace. Feedback from this global group, with extensive international experience, has been overwhelmingly positive. Many tell of how they’ve become personally empowered to drive for greater success as they navigate the complexities in cultures and work relationships while adapting to work life within the United States of America.”

“Jamie spoke at a workshop for special librarians in DC and was the most popular speaker of the day. Attendees felt her advice on cross-cultural communication was useful and timely and could be applied in all sorts of situations and work environments. Her interactive presentation also helped keep the entire audience engaged. I would welcome the opportunity to have Jamie back to talk to our group and I look forward to working together in the future.”

“I have had the pleasure of inviting Jamie to be a guest speaker at Western CT State University. She provided a very well received language lesson and cultural recommendations for a group of President’s scholars for a Geneva, Switzerland pre-departure meeting. Within minutes she had a group of students and faculty on their feet mingling in French, preparing them to feel confident with their ability to manage with the most basic language skills while abroad. I was astounded by her warm and professional manner and how quickly and successfully she engaged her audience. Jamie has also presented in a panel on the Importance of Language in our World. She is extremely articulate and motivating, gentle and inspiring. Many students inquired very seriously about going abroad to pursue language acquisition after hearing her comments and recommendations – she drove these students to action. I would strongly recommend Jamie’s work – the quality is high, the professionalism is noteworthy and her educational background is unmatched. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and to know!”

“Jamie did a great job with the Atlas Corps Fellows teaching them about Reverse Culture Shock and preparing them to return back to their countries. We would definitely hire Jamie again!”

“Cultural Mixology, headed by Jamie Gelbtuch, was retained by our office in July 2016 to undertake the development of comprehensive cultural awareness training for NYC* Emergency Management staff, emergency response volunteers, and community leaders. The project included a discovery period to understand the context that emergency management works within, a piloting period to test the effectiveness of the material, modification of the material based on feedback, and ultimate training. During this process, we worked closely with the Disability Access and Functional Needs (DAFN) community to make sure that the training was appropriate and accessible to all. Jamie also worked with agency staff to train a select group to present this training.”

Cultural Mixology has performed all contractual obligations timely and professionally.

“High praise for the the Cultural Mixology seminar! It is informative and fun as you learn techniques for understanding and appreciating another culture. Jamie helps you answer the “why” underlying many cultural traditions, values and behaviors. As an added benefit you begin to discover many things about your own culture that you may take for granted or be completely unaware of!”

“Jamie worked with me in my preparation to relocate temporarily to Singapore this year, where I was sent for 4 months to execute an e-trading platform migration project for all JPMorgan clients that trade foreign exchange in Asia. The project went well and I returned to New York as planned.

The expat workshop with Jamie was very useful as I had never been to Asia before. Not only did we focus on the particular customs of doing business in Asia, we also studied the history of the country and the people, and the cultural differences that would affect my everyday life outside the office. The extensive material presented by Jamie was useful, interesting and up-to-date. She is extremely professional and knows her material very well. Interestingly enough, I am from Argentina and her focus is on Latin American countries and cultures, however, our program was geared to Asian cultures, and I feel it was as successful.

The 2 programs with Jamie were very valuable and I consider my short-term assignment to be an incredibly positive experience both from a professional and personal point of views. Most people overlook the importance of the repatriation workshop. People take for granted how difficult is coming back home, to the routine and the known. Jamie’s repatriation workshop made me aware of the difficulties of coming home and made the adjustment easier.

I would highly recommend Jamie for any kind of program, as she is extremely knowledgeable and flexible, and it was a pleasure working with her.”

“Ms. Gelbtuch was retained by the Counselors of Real Estate Foundation in connection with its joint collaboration with the Kenya School of Monetary Studies. Briefly, the objective of the collaborative was two fold: (1) To provide a series of presentations to students visiting the United States from the KSMS on best practices used in the field of real estate construction, valuation, and investment; and (2) participation by members of the CRE organization in a real estate symposium sponsored by the KSMS in Nairobi, Kenya.

Ms. Gelbtuch participated in the first phase of the collaborative during which three students from the KSMS visited the US for the first time. As part of their orientation, and given their lack of exposure to the culture of this country, the collaborative retained the services of Ms. Gelbtuch to provide a one hour presentation to the students on the cultural characteristics of the US business community and US society in general.

Ms. Gelbtuch’s presentation exceeded our expectations; her presentation was clear, concise and comprehensive. Key points were clearly articulated and easy to understand with the aid of well prepared PowerPoint. She was thoroughly prepared as evidenced by her ability to clearly answer all questions put forth by the students. Her introductory presentation set the stage for what all considered to be a very successful three day business forum. Ms. Gelbtuch conducted herself in a most professional manner and is truly an expert on world cultures. If the opportunity were to arise again, we would definitely retain her services, she is an outstanding professional.”

“Jamie presented a webinar for the PMI Global Diversity, Community of Practice on Multigenerational Teams and Their Impact in Project Management to a highly engaged global audience. Her command and understanding of the subject matter gave her credibility and enabled her to relate with the broad range of attendees. She incorporated poll questions to interact and gain immediate feedback allowing her to modify the pacing and narrative accordingly. At the Q&A session her responses were spot on in further dialoging and establishing rapport. Making presentations through a virtual technology medium is often very challenging. Jamie was able to pull it off with preparation, planning and flawless execution.”

“Jamie was a pleasure to work with. Jamie was hired for a seminar at our yearly local PMI Professional Development Conference. Jamie presented on Diversity in Culture. She is an engaging, likeable and highly knowledgeable presenter. I look forward to working with Jamie on future endeavors.”

“During a period of professional transition, there could not have been a better person by my side than Jamie Gelbtuch. Her knowledge, professionalism, intellect and steadfast positive reinforcement helped me navigate previously unchartered professional waters.

Jamie knows what she’s doing, and also knows what her clients need. She has a psychologist’s mindset, a consultant’s instincts, and a coach’s pedigree. She individualizes her approach depending on the needs of those she works with—always making sure that her clients’ best interests are front and center.

Jamie is experienced, she is nuanced and she totally “gets it.” I came to look forward to our conversations not only because of the knowledge she imparts, but because of the wonderful person that she is. I enthusiastically recommend Jamie to anyone who is need of her expertise.”

“A great job opportunity fell through a few months after I had joined a really amazing organization. They were generous enough to pay for job search support for me and I was lucky to be matched with Jamie Gelbtuch from Cultural Mixology. I had specifically wanted someone with a good understanding of the Africa job market, particularly in the area of international development. Jamie was amazing and really helped me focus on my strengths when I was struggling to repackage my CV. She gave me great advice and helped me stay focused on the positive things I could offer and see how much I really could do to improve my career search. She shared several resources to guide me in my search, helped me with resume creation, and provided guidance on interview processes and critical tips. She was very positive and supportive and I landed a new role in a little under 8wks! It was truly a pleasure to work with her and I continue to count on her guidance and support whenever I have questions about anything from salary negotiation to career development planning.”

“I feel very lucky to have had Jamie’s support during the past year. She is a very talented career coach. Jamie is incredibly insightful, knowledgeable and empathetic. She is also very responsive, meticulous, really takes the time to give guidance with all aspects of the career transition process and knows how to ask the right questions that invite self-reflection. Jamie is also simply a wonderful person and it was always a real pleasure to speak with her. I couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you for everything, Jamie.”

“Through Jamie’s experiential coaching techniques and nurturing approach, she helped me to develop more confidence in time management skills and more importantly valuing my time. I was able to learn what works and what doesn’t through our honest developmental conversations. During our sessions, Jamie helped me cultivate my best inner thoughts that led to trial and error experimentation that allowed me to see the fruits of my labor which motivated me even more. I have developed skills now to not only manage time but to also reduce nonproductive behaviors. I have always considered time management to be one of my weaknesses, but I can now say this is no longer the case thanks to Jamie.

Learning and professionally developing oneself does not have to be boring especially with a great coach like Jamie. Every session has not only been memorable but has allowed me to grow. Jamie would praise me when merited and also be brutally honest to make me reflect on my behaviors and how I could be doing something better. Jamie is great at what she does and I strongly recommend her to anyone that is serious and honest about improving themselves. She is like the inner voice that you wish you always had to help you!”

“My career transition in the USA can never be smooth without Jamie’s excellent guidance! She is an excellent career coach. In my 3 months sessions with her, there wasn’t any day unproductive. The advice she gave with every job interview helped me grow while looking for jobs. She guided me at every step starting from resume, LinkedIn profile, salary negotiation, networking etc. The sessions never appeared transactional. She was always approachable and listened to me before suggesting anything (and her suggestions were always valuable). She is the go-to person if someone is really looking for career coaching advice! Thanks once again Jamie. ”

“Jamie was an absolutely wonderful coach. Not being able to do work in New York what I was doing back home in Belgium made me uncertain about what I wanted to do here. She really helped me unravel my problems and made me realize what I really wanted to do for work in New York. Because of the coaching I enrolled in several classes and thanks to the coaching I now have a clear plan of what I want to do. I am sure that without any help from Jamie I would not be able to find a job in New York because the culture and customs are so different from those in Europe. Now I understand how the job search works in New York. I would definitely recommend this coaching to anybody who moves from Europe to New York. I am convinced that I would not find a job in New York without the help from Jamie.”

“Jamie is incredibly intelligent, insightful, motivating, and supportive. She imparts empowering advice that you will find yourself channeling as you navigate your day to day experiences at work and beyond. I’m so grateful for my time with Jamie and will consider her my go-to resource for future career coaching.”

“Jamie proved to be an inspiring executive coach who helped me to transition to life in New Jersey in the US. As a South African I found the process of settling in a new country more than a little daunting. Jamie stepped in and helped me to develop several valuable toolkits and survival guides. This enabled me to break bigger processes down into concrete, manageable steps. We investigated resume writing, job interview skills, cultural differences and social networking aptitudes, to name a few. As a result I was able to create a positive mental space in which to ground myself and I became far more confident. I would recommend Jamie to any prospective client because of her upbeat, pleasant disposition and her high level of professionalism.”

“I think that Jamie is very effective as a coach. She is very organized in her methods and approach, and this helps to keep me organized and focused on what’s important. Her ability to keep everything so well organized (in her head and later on paper) is amazing! She’s also very good at maximizing the limited time we have. An hour goes by very quickly. Jamie keeps things moving in a good way, to maximize effectiveness and impact. She asks a lot of great questions to move me forward, and summarizes back what she is “hearing” from me in order to challenge me and help me clarify my thinking. I’m quite pleased with the results of the coaching engagement.”

“Jamie was a treat to work with! She meticulously worked with me to jazz up my resume and as a result, I received various interview requests and a great offer. At a time when I was in the middle of a crossroads and trying to make decisions, Jamie also provided the support I needed to progress. I would definitely recommend her career services to anyone.”

“Durante mi búsqueda de empleo, Jamie fue una compañera excepcional. A lo largo de tres meses, recorrimos juntas todas las etapas del proceso: desde definir mi rumbo profesional hasta crear un currículum exitoso, prepararme para entrevistas, negociar ofertas y adaptarme a mi nuevo empleo. Siempre estuvo disponible para responder a mis preguntas y me brindó su ayuda con paciencia y dedicación, mostrando un genuino interés en mi éxito. Se alegraba con cada logro alcanzado, me alentaba a seguir adelante y me proporcionaba consejos útiles para cada etapa del camino. Recomiendo ampliamente a Jamie como guía y mentora para aquellos que buscan avanzar en sus carreras. Sin duda, aprendí mucho de ella y su asesoramiento fue fundamental para encontrar un empleo que se adecuara a mis necesidades. Me siento muy feliz y agradecida de haber compartido este viaje con ella.”

“I worked with Jamie as my coach upon my return to the US after having spent several years as an expat in Switzerland and South Africa. The most valuable aspects of the coaching were having the encouragement and support of a professional coach in a difficult endeavor and Jamie’s expertise in strategy, presentation, and identification of a job in the current job market. Jamie is insightful, helpful in identifying the underlying difficulty, and an excellent resource to her clients. I made tremendous progress in the time I worked with Jamie on achieving the goals we set out. I was able to finish the program with a set of achievements that I was happy with and a clear plan for the future. Without her guidance and expertise, I would not have reached these goals within the same timeframe and with such success.”

“I had the opportunity to avail Jamie’s service as part of my Partner Support Program upon relocating from India to the US. The excellent support and help I received from her made the transition I was seeking into an entirely different field seem achievable. She is extremely professional with the way she handles her clients. The effort she puts in to understand your background, the way you like to work, your ambitions and in general to understand you as a person makes the meetings/interactions extremely useful and comfortable. Eventually, it would feel like a friend who knows so much about you is trying to help you achieve your goals! I guess, an intercultural/support program can’t be any better than that. I would recommend her services to any person/organization who’s looking for the best quality intercultural programs.”

“Jamie’s expert guidance ensured I was getting the most out of my background and skill set throughout my job hunt. I’d recommend her services to folks at any stage of their career path as she tailors the experience to what you need to take that next step. Jamie is a true professional, every conversation had material value that helped land me a new job and will set me up for success in any future job search or career pivot.”

“This week I started my new role on the human capital consulting team. I’m excited about this next step in my career and very grateful for all your support along the journey. Our work together helped immensely during a stressful time and will continue to guide me as I work towards longer term goals.”

“I have had the privilege of working with Jamie during my job search over the past three months, and I can’t say enough about how invaluable her guidance has been. Through Jamie’s mentorship, she provided me with exceptional support and advice throughout the entire process. I have successfully found my new job and am excited about the opportunities ahead of me. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone who needs career guidance and expert support. She is truly exceptional at what she does and has had a significant impact on my career.”

“Having Jamie as a Coach has been one of the greatest business experiences I’ve had in my career. Jamie has the natural ability to create powerful conversations. She helped me identify my real goals and generate concrete and effective action plans for establishing my Consulting Company in 4 months. Jamie always made me feel very comfortable, but at the same time challenged me, taking me to higher thinking levels where the real “aha-moments” happened. If you want to work with a Coach that will make you create change in a fast and productive way, her name is Jamie Gelbtuch.”

“I just wanted to share with you that I have joined Torrent Pharma as a Regulatory Associate. Yay!! I am so thankful to you for all the efforts that you’ve put in to enhance my professional domain be it my LinkedIn profile, resume, or approach to searching for jobs.
All the tips that you gave for interviews have really helped me ace my first and foremost interview experience here in the US. It took me a month to reach to my first interview with Torrent. I am so happy that I could make it work in the first go and also in this difficult situation with COVID, when everyone is at risk of losing their jobs. I really appreciate for your time and all your help. Big thanks! It was such a pleasure working with you.”

“Cultural Mixology is the best thing I have ever done for my career and for my own personal growth. Jamie is an amazing coach, who is very professional and extremely knowledgeable about various industries. She opened my eyes to career possibilities I hadn’t considered prior to working with her, as well as helped me to understand my potential; which eventually gave me the courage to take a different career path. With Jamie’s advice and guidance, I was able to obtain my dream job in New York. I could not recommend her more and will always be grateful for her help.”

“Jamie has been such a great career coach and guide for me during my job search in the US after moving from India. She is smart, intelligent and comes up with creative solutions to difficult problems. She made my job search such a smooth and organized process through the three months of training sessions. She was always available when needed and did not hesitate to share her market knowledge and experience. With her I was able to get all my resources up to date, work on my interview skills and finally land three job offers. I still use some of her suggestions on networking, effective communication. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a career coach, she will help you get your best self out for the interviews and even beyond.”

“Jamie is a dedicated coach; starting from the ‘Discovery phase’, identifying the root cause of what’s preventing you from shining in your professional and personal journey; and that itself is 70% of the solution. Her empathy, goal oriented mindset and positive attitude makes her a pleasure to work with.

Jamie also has fantastic tools that guided me in a structured journey through self-reflection and self-knowledge. I will recommend her to anyone who is interested in life changing experiences; she truly changed mine.”

“Jamie is an outstanding career coach who understood her client’s requirements. We worked together for three months on my job search after the transition from Dubai to US. It was tough transition phase but Jamie’s spirit and encouraging words to focus on the positive side and push me to continue in achieving my goals. I learned a lot from her, giving me a helpful guidelines on communications and networking. Also, she showed me how to overcome my doubts and fears. She is authentic and knowledgeable on her field, responded promptly when you needed support. With her background, knowledge and personality, I definitely recommend her to other expats who will be needing a coach for job search.”

“Jamie was such a fantastic support during a transitional phase in my career. She guides with compassion, confidence and the upmost professionalism. I highly recommend Jamie and look forward to collaborating with her in the future again.”

“Through a series of exercises, Jamie guided me on how to show the impact of my work. That gave me the confidence about my abilities and reinforced my value as an Engineer. Before the coaching I didn’t have a well-structured CV or a LinkedIn profile; she helped me to realize the power of these tools. Nowadays, I’m getting noticed by recruiters from different countries that are constantly reaching me out and I’m on the way to finding and taking the right opportunity for me. I really appreciate Jamie’s work. She is so dedicated and committed in each session, always bringing the best vibes. She is so happy for each achievement and also good with inspirational words in a stuck moment. I’m really glad for the opportunity to share with Jamie, she became an important person in my professional journey.”

“A través de una serie de ejercicios, Jamie me guió en cómo mostrar el impacto de mi trabajo. Eso me dio la confianza sobre lo que soy capaz de hacer y reforzó mi valor como Ingeniero. Antes del coaching no tenía un CV bien estructurado o un perfil de LinkedIn, ella me ayudó a darme cuenta del poder de estas herramientas. Hoy en día, me notan reclutadores de diferentes países que constantemente se comunican conmigo y estoy en el camino para encontrar y aprovechar la oportunidad adecuada para mí. Realmente aprecio el trabajo de Jamie, es tan dedicada y comprometida en cada sesión, siempre con buenas vibras. Ella está tan feliz con cualquier logro y también con buenas palabras inspiradoras para un momento atascado. Estoy muy contento por la oportunidad de compartir con Jamie, se convirtió en una persona importante en mi camino profesional.“

“Jamie is a smart , patient, and very encouraging coach and professional guide! She allowed me to customize the way we work together and what I would benefit from the most, truly centering my needs. She is affirming and insightful, and helped me not only strengthen my resume, but also feel more confident and intentional in negotiations. Very grateful to Jamie for her help and support through the job search process!”

“I highly value the support and advice I received from Jamie upon my relocation to the US. The ultimate goal was not only to feel confident and prepared going to a job interview, but also to find a job in the US. I was able to succeed in these goals, thanks to Jamie’s valuable feedback, motivation and experience. She did not only provide me with a lot of excellent advice on how to explore opportunities in another country, Jamie always offered multiple possibilities when she realized I wasn’t ready yet to step out of my comfort zone. But during the coaching, Jamie was able to make it seem easy to step out of my comfort zone, because I knew that she would support and motivate me if I wanted to give it a try. I couldn’t have asked for better, more helpful tailored advice. Jamie is able to provide information about everything, because of her broad network and knowledge, profound experience and commitment. I’m grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to work with Jamie.”

“Ik waardeer de ondersteuning en het advies dat Jamie mij gegeven heeft ten zeerste bij mijn verhuis naar de VS. Het ultieme doel was niet enkel om zelfzeker en voorbereid naar een sollicitatiegesprek te gaan, maar ook om werk te vinden in de VS. Ik heb deze vooropgestelde doelen kunnen waarmaken, dankzij de waardevolle feedback, motivatie en ervaring van Jamie. Ze gaf me niet enkel excellent advies over hoe ik opportuniteiten kon exploreren, Jamie gaf altijd verschillende mogelijkheden waarop ik dit kon doen als ze zich ervan bewust was dat ik nog niet klaar was om uit mijn comfortzone te stappen. Maar tijdens deze coaching wist Jamie me zo te ondersteunen dat het niet moeilijk aanvoelde om uit deze comfortzone te stappen omdat ik wist dat ze me zou ondersteunen en motiveren als ik het een kans wou geven. Ik had niet voor beter of meer op maat gemaakt advies kunnen vragen. Door haar brede netwerk en kennis, ervaring en toewijding kon ze over alles waarbij ik vragen had informatie verstrekken. Ik ben dankbaar voor de kans die ik heb gekregen om met Jamie samen te werken, ze heeft me de beste hulp gegeven waarvoor ik had kunnen vragen.”

“Jamie’s insight and perspectives on cultural wiring has been invaluable to me in working with international clients. She has not only opened my eyes to the many ways in which culture of origin shapes day to day exchanges, but she has provided excellent examples and evidence to underscore the knowledge she imparts.”

“Jamie has been a great career coach to me. Her experience, knowledge, kindness, empathy and positivity have helped me so much, I could not recommend her enough to anyone that is in need of a professional change or improvement.”

“I worked with Jamie on an action plan for a career change. To start, the process was well defined and thought out. After an introduction session, Jamie was focused on setting clear objectives and having me work on delivering a detailed action plan, step by step.

Thoughtout this process Jamie has been a careful listener, providing alternatively feedback and examples. I have been impressed by how creative Jamie has been to accompany me to draw my own conclusions and find personal solutions.

Methodological and pragmatic yet open minded and empathic, Jamie brought the right balance of questioning and challenges versus advises and examples.

During this journey, Jamie has always been available between sessions to follow my progress, answer my questions and motivate me.

Cultural Mixology is a great resources I would recommend to anyone envisioning a transition phase.”

“I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the invaluable coaching sessions over the past six months. Your guidance has been instrumental in navigating the complexities of job searching in the U.S., and the insights you’ve provided have been more than valuable—they’ve been transformative. Your advice has not only helped me understand the nuances of the professional landscape here but also instilled in me the confidence to pursue opportunities with a strategic approach. For this, I cannot thank you enough.”

“I met Jamie during a webinar she gave on cultural differences and their impact on our careers. While I’d consider myself fully bilingual and bicultural, it seems like the more time I spend in the U.S., the more my native (Mexican) cultural traits scream for control, so becoming aware of those differences was the very first barrier she helped me overcome. I was immediately hooked.

I engaged her for advice on job searching and to contemplate a career transition. I wasn’t happy, but I was unsure of what else I would like to do, and what would be feasible in NY’s competitive job market given my background. Jamie helped me explore different industries and roles, providing me with the appropriate tools and guidance to approach that road strategically, while always seeking to score some tactical wins to maintain momentum and motivation.

More importantly, she helped me realize that my lack of professional inspiration stemmed in large part because my personal challenges were consuming me, so “fixing” my career would not be a silver bullet. Very subtly, she helped me challenge myself and build up the courage to move from tolerance to acceptance, regaining the sense of clarity and excitement I had lost.

Thank you for being a force of calmness, reassurance, and motivation, and for helping me shed a light on the road ahead!”

“I had the opportunity to work with Jamie for the past year and a half, first as an intern, and later as a consultant. Jamie is a prime example of someone who genuinely loves the work they do. Her intelligence, passion and generosity don’t even begin to describe how much of a pleasure she is to work with. Not only was Jamie an outstanding boss, she was a patient teacher and most importantly, a mentor.

I started working for Jamie during the summer of 2011 as an intern. Interning at Cultural Mixology was an exciting experience because it wasn’t your typical internship. Instead of grabbing coffee for the office, I was working one on one with the founder of a company. As a plus, Jamie and I have very similar interests. Throughout the summer, we would meet on a weekly basis to not only work on projects, but also to talk about the multicultural world. Ranging from a variety of topics, Jamie would educate me about a particular subject and explain how it relates to the industry. Not only was I assisting Jamie with the development of training materials, I was also learning a tremendous amount of information I could never learn in the classroom.

Continuing to work for Jamie as a consultant, I was given the opportunity to collaborate with her on a Latin America research project. Working together, we were able to draw concrete conclusions about the cultural differences in Latin America. This project was my absolute favorite because not only was I collecting and analyzing results from 6 different countries, I was working with Jamie to understand the many cultural differences there are between each and every one.

I believe the best way you learn is through experience, and while working with Jamie for the past year and a half, I can truly say that I learned something new everyday.”

“I am the Executive Director of a not-for-profit organization which provides food, clothing, guidance and job skills to thousands of local people in need in northern Westchester County, NY. For nearly two years, Jamie Gelbtuch has done consultant work to help launch and guide programs for our organization.

Jamie’s work with our organization required communications skills in Spanish and English and a grasp of cultural issues Hispanic immigrants face in living in the our community, which Jamie was able to provide. She produced a wide range of final product, from PowerPoint and slide presentations to grant proposals and assessments.

Jamie is thorough and produces meticulously crafted work; she cares mightily about, and was diligent in producing, excellent finished products and genuinely favorable outcomes: testimony to her skills and her exemplary work ethic, but also to her honesty and personal and professional integrity.”
