cross-cultural leadership

& intercultural management

Building and sustaining reliable cross-cultural relationships with employees, intercultural business partners or other international stakeholders can be very challenging.

Hello, my name is Isabell Zeiske and I’m the CEO and Founder of Culture Savvy Society, where we help corporate and public institutions like yours and your management employees with cross-cultural assignments to leverage corporate and local culture optimally to achieve complex intercultural business goals and outperform your competition.

Studies show that up to 42% of international assignments are perceived as failures!  We don’t want that to happen to you, because it’ll cost you tones of money, reputation and create high levels of frustration and demotivation amongst your usually high-performing staff.

Whether it concerns intercultural people leadership, cross-cultural negotiations, international joint ventures or mediating conflicts, my team of highly educated and experienced culture and language professionals make sure the results you’ve set your eyes on are the results you’ll get, or better! ;o)

Get started now with our FREE audio series “3 Pro strategies to make it anywhere”.

Results are everything

Building substantial relationships to leaders and decision makers, fast but firm, is what makes Isabell invaluable to our joint projects supporting companies and regions strongly effected by demographic changes. From small institutions to big established companies, or politicians, she finds the right approach to unlock doors and cement commitment from everyone involved. She's a very charming event moderator and inspiring speaker. Her sense of humor and hands-on business attitude make it extra valuable and worth the while collaborating. I highly recommend working with her!

As trainer and coach Isabell excels in creating great learning experiences. Her workshops and programs are easy to digest and great times to participants, since she has entertaining ways to convey new knowledge and establish skills. But most importantly her experience and practical approach ensures her audience leaves the room skilled and ready to succeed within new challenges. At topics as complex and occasionally theoretical as communication and methods even her trainer peers pile up eager to learn from her. Also, I love our conversations and value her professional advice highly!

Isabell’s' international network is impressive in size and reliability when it comes to offering the best quality of information and solutions to her customers. As an employee I'm extremely happy to work with someone that besides running a profitable business made it her mission to give back to society. Financially, through her work and through personal efforts. Also, Isabell is a fair, ethical and warmhearted employer that very much values what I bring to the table and nurtures my personal and professional growth, always providing an open door when guidance and support are in demand. It feels awesome being part of her vision that builds a happier, more peaceful future for all of us.

I choose working with Isabell as my personal coach again and again, because she's empathetic and can read my every word and gesture. In the beginning that was scary, but soon I learned that she can be trusted 100% and doesn't judge me. I enjoy how she combines science with spirituality and how customized she tailors my sessions even to spontaneous business requirements. She is very inspiring and knows so much from experience. I highly recommend working with her!

Send Isabell anywhere for an hour and you'll find her again being on first name basis with everyone in the room, building profound relationships incredibly fast but long-lasting, and eye-to-eye across all social levels. Her honest interest in people, assertive communication and warm personality support that a lot. Realizing our demography projects together she excels as a team player and brings in great value through her hands-on solutions-focused approach and her results in selling ideas to even difficult characters convincing them to commit despite their objections. It's a great experience time and time again to join forces. Her optimism, her confidence and her appreciation for others are intoxicating. Her calm, perseverance and mutual esteem lead the way to favored results.

I gotta admit that as a man, initially, I didn't like the idea of teaming up with a female coach to grow new behavioral and communicational skill sets as a negotiator and responsible dealing with customers and other stakeholders from all over the world. But when it comes to professional excellence and handling other cultures there aren't many considerable options on the market. Looking back working with Isabell was one of the best professional decisions I made! Her expertise is state of the art and helped my sales efforts to double revenue. It's safe to say, she is ExpensiveButSoooWorthIt.com!
