How might intercultures’ customers find you unique? 

I live and work in India and Germany, which is why I am used to think monoculturally as well as multiculturally.

Nevertheless, I have a lot of empathy for those who do not like to live in a constantly changing world of ambivalence. In my trainings, I point out the areas where change is necessary and beneficial and help people to leverage cultural differences wherever they enable a trustful, eye leveled cooperation with benefits for both sides.
