”Anita was “Exceptional”. Terrific Coach. The Global Mindset and Culture Program was “spot on” as customized to my leadership role and objectives. A comprehensive and insightful session. Gained self-awareness of culture gaps and how to bridge them along with do’s and don’ts in Brazil, Middle East and Japan. Global Disc helped understand how my underlying values and needs that drove my behaviour and why people think, behave and feel differently.

Anita has assisted us in developing a vision/mission and also leadership, intercultural management and performance skills training for all employees. She has also been a coach to the senior global leadership team based in India.

“The cultural course with Anita was simply great! She gave us practical tools to better understand, manage and face everyday challenges in India, with a lot of concrete examples and clear explanations. It has been an enlightening and enriching experience that I would suggest to anyone new to a culture. I am grateful for having the opportunity to do such a course with her. She is a real professional, with a lot of hands-on experience but also solid theoretical knowledge. To not mention she is even a fantastic communicator and a very kind person. Highly recommended!”

Anita has a unique ability to analyze the brief from discussion to provide the desired solution. Thinking horizontally, vertically and probably diagonally to facilitate team to create a vision. Everyone liked her quick and objective response to questions patiently and passion in transferring knowledge to achieve results and working with individual styles of a cross cultural team from Italy, India, Nigeria and Singapore. The vision followed by Cross Cultural Strategy session and developing competencies of key managers over 6 months. She has helped in teams talking openly with each other as well as established a team identity. The individual coaching sessions with the team post training generated increased confidence and accelerated results.
Also I worked with Anita for my cross cultural coaching after landing in Mumbai. It was a very engaging session,. Anita did manage to flesh out some of the most relevant areas for an effective leadership whilst managing an Indian team in an Indian environment.
