Leandro O. Galvez – Jr. Software Engineer, Accenture
“The course presenters brought us quickly to the “real issues” of concern in cross cultural relations in the office. This was achieved with understanding and enough control so that the contentious issues were dealt with thoroughly without offense, and with sound recommendations for future changes in office practice.”
Dr. Patricia Ludowyk – First Secretary, AusAid
“Cross Cultural differences are inevitable. No matter what field you enter, surely, this would be present. There is really no way of escaping this, so what each and everyone should do is just to accept and understand that differences are present. This training I had helped me to accept this fact and allow me to know how to bridge the gap.”
Grizel Sia – Manulife Business Processing Services
“I find the cross-cultural communication workshop by G&J informative and enjoyable.”
Sheila Lapitan – Support Manager, Misys Banking System
“Cross-cultural communication was the greatest training that I had because I happen to be a first-time in interacting with different cultures. It is a big help because this will broaden my knowledge in interacting and change my perception towards other people.
Guthrie-Jensen did a good job in bringing this type of training and sharing it to me.”
