Eric prefers sharing real stories and triggering insights on cultural differences than listing rules and business etiquette. To learn about those differences must be fun and make sense. History references of a country are particularly privileged to explain those difficult to admit behaviors. At the end of the day, a mindful cross cultural experience is to accelerate your business development in a new market and enrich your-self as a human being in a more and more globalized world.

As a lifelong expatriate with diplomatic missions in Africa (Cameroun & Equatorial Guinea), in Northern America (US Middle-West & West Coast, British Columbia), in Europe (France, Spain, Netherlands), in Asia (India, Japan, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia & Philippines), Eric has developed a keen interest in cross cultural communication skills to successfully develop business in new markets. He observed many faux-pas and recorded as many success stories as well. Eric edited several articles in business magazines and edited cross cultural manuals for USA and Malaysia as well as conducted cross cultural workshop for expatriates moving in or business executives on business trips.
