Klaudia has led cultural workshops for our teams in Poland and India. Her insight on the subject has helped the teams to better understand each other's perspectives, which has helped to bring them closer together. Klaudia's deep understanding of the subject matter, communication skills, knowledge of corporate needs and sense of humour make her extremely effective in her role. ‘Culture’ can be a sensitive subject and Klaudia does an excellent job of avoiding stereotypes, focusing on what makes different regions unique. I highly recommend Klaudia to anyone who has geographically dispersed teams and wants to integrate them effectively.

If you are having difficulties working with your Indian colleagues, if you are wondering why everything - or unfortunately most things - are not going according to plan.... ask a specialist :). Make an appointment with Klaudia, have a chat and ask for support. Klaudia will organise a training session based on her years of experience, tailored to your specific problems. Whether you're at the beginning of a relationship or it's been going on for a long time - even years - it's never too late for support and learning. Nor is it worth trying to figure everything out on your own :). A huge advantage of using Klaudia's help is the possibility to organise dedicated training for both collaborating teams, directly on site (F2F), e.g. in India and Poland, so that the message is consistent. I highly recommend taking advantage of this option!

I am delighted to recommend Klaudia after her stellar training session on Indian culture. Her workshop was not just a talk, but a captivating journey through India's rich traditions, spiced with the perfect blend of facts and fun. Klaudia masterfully conveyed complex cultural nuances, using interactive elements that kept us all on the edge of our seats (and sometimes out of them!). Her ability to engage and energize the audience was truly impressive—who knew learning could feel like a Bollywood blockbuster. For any organization looking to enhance their cultural competence, Klaudia is your star performer. Her expertise, enthusiasm, and exceptional presentation skills are a winning combination.

KLAUDIA FRYC-MALLICK

Cultural psychologist and business trainer

I combined my education (psychology and cultural anthropology), profession (certified intercultural trainer), passions (travel and books) and private experience (Polish-Indian family) to implement engaging, practical business development activities (including workshops and webinars) with my clients on a daily basis.

Over 15 years in the training rooms of various organisations and the recurring questions and challenges of my clients have also resulted in the writing of a book - a practical guide to the cultural aspects of working with Indian partners.
