How do you chart your career trajectory in a country and a culture you weren’t born in?

As teams and organizations become global, how can you truly deal with differences, and build multicultural teams?

We continue our People & HR series with a focus on embracing diverse teams, people from various cultures and building trust and dealing with difference within global teams.

A certified cultural facilitator and trainer, Jill has worked with the Australian Admin Serivices in Melbourne, ICQ Global in the UK, and is currently founder director at Ethnosynth, a coaching and leadership development organization based in Pune supporting companies to build culturally diverse work environments.
