That depends!

If you have never had a CQ assessment, it is nearly always a great choice to start there. Before you can determine which direction to head to reach your goal, you need to determine where you currently are.

If you’re moving from one culture to another that you have little familiarity with, or if you’re going big-time intercultural for the first time, then mentoring may likely be the best fit for you. To the degree that you request and need help—periodically determined by you—I will serve you by giving practical advice, cautions, encouragements, insightful resources, warm introductions to people and groups who may help you grow in skills. My goal will be to help you learn vicariously to highest degree possible.

They say that wisdom usually comes from experience . . . and most of that typically comes from dramatic displays of a lack of all kinds of wisdom!

I’m here to mentor you to avoid much of that! You’ll save yourself trouble by not having to learn very hard lessons via making major intercultural blunders.

If you’re already experienced in intercultural life and work, or just prefer to learn through your own self discovery in the world, coaching will be a better fit. You will know your life and work context way better than anyone else and most all of the best answers will already abide somewhere in your mind and heart.

I’ll serve you by giving you regular time to surface and develop your best options and ideas while also growing stronger at avoiding unproductive ruts that tend to slip you up into if you’re not fully aware.
