Jan has particular experience in cross- cultural differences and their implications in the field of communication in international business. She has wide experience in working with senior groups from different nationalities, helping them to understand the cultural issues, and can competently meet the challenge of energizing groups where there may be issues of potential conflict due to diversity. In addition to Europe and the US, Jan has also delivered assignments in China, Asia and the Middle East.
