Let’s turn curiosity into confident practice. 🌍✨
“I've been interested in culture forever, and after writing a blog about it for the last five years, I decided to formalize my experience by following a training to become a CPD-certified intercultural trainer. I had met Desta not long before, and her energy, experience, and the many cultural activities she was leading made it an easy decision to sign up for the course she was launching.
In four 2-hour group sessions, she guided us through the frameworks, cultural leaders, her personal experience, and also how to give the training and promote ourselves. What I appreciated most was her full transparency around pricing, materials, and frameworks. This openness, combined with her eagerness to help her students thrive and create win-wins, is very rare. You’re unlikely to find a training that’s so fun and packed with real insights. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering becoming an intercultural trainer. Desta rocks!”
Thomas Plaatsman, CulturalReads.com
“Desta is an outstanding teacher who has lived and worked in many parts of the world. She is fluent in multiple languages, and well-traveled. Understanding how to navigate cultural landscapes with empathy and confidence is at the core of her being and her work.
Already after a few sessions with her, I feel like she has given me the tools and insight I need to help organizations and brands build a strong foundation of cultural competency and understanding.”
