Praise for our tools
“One of our main challenges is to ensure that we are effective as a team and can communicate in highly complex, fast-paced and culturally diverse contexts. The Global Fitnes Profiler helped us to systematically and reliably identify our strengths and weaknesses. It allowed us to identify areas needing further development and made us more confident over our team’s future development.”
Chen Xi (Chris) Head of OPPO ColorOS User Experience Center, OPPO Mobiule Telecommuniations Corp. Ltd.
“Our team recently completed the Global Teamworking Profiler and have found the analysis extremely useful and insightful. Teamwork is crucial in every project we work on, so the feedback, highlighting what is working well and where improvements can be made, will benefit us all. I highly recommend the use of GlobalPeople Consulting’s GTP for any company looking to improve the way their international teams work together.”

“We have used the Global Teamworking Profiler for eliciting data from master degree students who work together in culturally mixed project teams and studio collectives. With our research we want to support instructors and students in optimizing intercultural team performance in project work. GlobalPeople Consulting assisted in tailoring the tool in view of this target group, they analyzed the data, and conveyed the results and interpretations in clear reports with attractive visuals. We received valuable feedback from this which we are following up on. Throughout the process I could rely on their prompt and expert support.”
Professor Jan Van Maele, KU Leuven
Praise for our Masterclasses and Network Presentations
“Helen and Peter ran a series of enlightening and insightful sessions for our global community of supply chain professionals. The virtual sessions included a good balance of presentation material and interactive exercises, which together provided not only great food for thought but also some very practical, actionable advice for improving global fitness – an absolute must in our sector which depends so much on effective collaboration and communication across organisations, cultures and continents.”

Praise for the authors of the book Global Fitness for Global People
Written by highly experienced trainers and practitioners, it is a book to keep and consult again and again, with effective tools to make your own.
Marie-Thérèse Claes, Professor of Gender and Diversity in Organisations, Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), Austria.
The authors use new and powerful tools to describe culture and its impact. I particularly liked the positive approach of Global Fitness.
Monika Krause, Intercultural trainer and coach, Vice-President SIETAR Germany
Drawing on their extensive experience in teaching, training and research, the authors engage the reader in a wide variety of authentic case studies of handling cultural diversity, which are underpinned by solid insights into communication, psychology, management and cultural studies.
Jan Van Maele, Ph.D. Professor at Faculty of Engineering Technology, KU Leuven, Belgium, and specialist in language and communication
The authors have skilfully disentangled the complexity of the many aspects and components of cultural diversity; by transforming high-brow and outdated concepts into updated and easily comprehensible frameworks for reflection and action, they have created a refreshing and highly accessible approach that will attract everyone engaged or interested in international and intercultural interactions.
