Why Teak+Tale
Who I Work with
I believe you don’t have to give up who you are to find the way. Often times in the process of cross-cultural adaptation and in any moment of life transition, we will be facing some type of difficult choices. Choose between the old and new, between to go with the flow or to go against the current, between what’s comfortable and what’s not.
I support driven individuals who have a desire to achieve both authenticity and success when going through cross-cultural behavioral adaptation by helping you learn and relearn the following:
- Communicate effectively in another culture so people can understand you better
- Build rapport and meaningful connections to create a sense of belonging
- Establish and/or protect personal boundaries to build optimal relationship
- Develop self-promoting techniques in foreign culture

My Approach
With an intensive background in global business, experience as a Global Dexterity® trainer and co-active® coach, and living in an intercultural relationship on my own, I connect with you through empathy and non-judgemental listening, to provide nurturing yet empowering experiences to help them successfully manage the transitions you are going through and be a rockstar.
How We Might Work Together
Living and working abroad takes courage, confidence, and effort, not to mention to stay authentic and hold on to your own cultural values in a foreign country. But with the right resources and guidance, you can manage the cross-cultural transitions, international relationships and live a fulfilling life.
I will help clarify your goals, create strategic action plans that suit the authentic you and hold you accountable. I will challenge you to shift perspectives, embrace the new culture and find your own way to thrive in an ecosystem that fits you the best. I will guide, support and hold your hand every step along the way, with my empathy, non-judgmental listening, and global dexterity.
