Creating a better world through inspiring leaders and their teams to work harmoniously and successfully, globally.
Are you facing challenges working globally or with international teams?
• Miscommunication and low level of trust within your multicultural team
• Your successful leadership style no longer works in your new country
• Your team is struggling to build good relationships with overseas partners and clients
• Local offices pay lip service to global standards and systems
• No face-to-face contact since COVID 19 is exacerbating all of the above.
If one or more of the above resonate, coaching with a focus on working effectively across cultures may be for you and your teams.
Cross Cultural Coaching for Impact brings together tried and tested approaches to understanding cultural differences with the intercultural experience and coaching expertise of myself and Jane Darvill-Evans to create a new approach to working in a global world.
My expertise in this area.
- Successful experience of coaching global leaders on working effectively with multiple cultures
- I have worked in 30+ countries across five continents, leading and working with geographically dispersed teams
- Personal experience of operating effectively in an unfamiliar culture through living and working in Japan, Kenya, Philippines.Romania and other countries

“Coaching with Lesley was extremely beneficial for me when I struggled with cultural differences in the work environment. She helped me to understand what kind of cultural differences I faced as well as where and how they impacted on me. Sessions with Lesley boosted my confidence and made me feel empowered and more engaged in the projects at work. It also improved the whole team’s dynamics” Founder of Deep Blue Waters, Finland
