I feel more confident that I won’t hurt anyone’s sentiments. The entire atmosphere was very friendly and we developed a lot of understanding of each other’s culture and beliefs. I learned to respect other cultures and try to think from another person’s perspective. Rosemary was fantastic. Her body language, expressions are so lively. You just don’t get bored listening to her for an entire day. It was awesome.

I had the pleasure of having Rosemary as my cross-cultural trainer when I moved to Dublin two years ago. I enjoyed her great passion and a “can do” attitude, always providing great insights around business and life in Ireland. She was also very thoughtful with every single matter I raised and checked in with me afterwards. Rosemary has had a great impact on my professional and personal success in Ireland and I strongly recommend her to anyone.

left quotation mark

Rosemary was my cross-cultural trainer and coach for my company's professional/personal repatriation program. The training she facilitated, along with her solid ongoing support, has helped me to build the level of confidence needed to excel upon return from my international assignment. She went the extra mile beyond the standard curriculum and checked in with me immediately upon my return, and at the 3 and 6 month marks. This helped me to not only reflect on my repatriation, but also my expat experience as a whole, including the intercultural skills and competencies I developed. I am 100% confident that Rosemary has personally contributed to my current success both professionally and personally. I hope that she continues to help others readjust and reintegrate as well as she has for me.
