Global Dexterity Certification

Melissa shares the news of her new intercultural certification!

I have completed the Global Dexterity Train the Trainer certification and am now officially certified in this training and coaching method!

I have been a big fan of Andy Molinsky’s insightful and practical book, Global Dexterity, since it was published in 2013. Unlike other approaches to crossing cultures, which focus on cultural differences and then leave you guessing about how you should adapt, Global Dexterity focuses on how you can adapt in light of those differences. And, unlike other approaches which seem to blame culture crossers for their frustrations, Global Dexterity focuses on how we can adapt and thrive without losing ourselves in the process.

It was a missing piece in my training and coaching tool kits, and so with Andy’s permission I had already been incorporating his ideas into my programs. Now, with the completion of this new certification, I can truly make it official! I can also share the program’s online resources, including a very useful video library, with our clients. Thank you to Andy and to Kinga Białek, my fellow participant in the first cohort, for such an enriching, edifying, and rewarding experience.

We look forward to building on this professional development and sharing our learning with our clients and partners!
