Global Insider Talks
June 6, 2022
In this episode of Global Insider Talks, we spoke with Desirée Perez, culture expert and Coach Community Director at Sayge, an NYC-based executive coaching firm, about the importance of considering various aspects of culture when operating in new markets, and other topics including:
- What is my internal corporate culture and is it capable of adapting internationally?
- What cultural aspirations do I have for my organization as we expand?
- How do I help my team around the world work effectively with one another?
Desirée also shared her executive coaching insights on the importance of employee engagement and effective internal feedback channels, and promoted the idea that not all feedback should be automatically perceived as negative.
Why should culture matter to executives planning to expand their organization internationally?
From your own internal corporate culture to working with team members in different parts of the world, culture matters. Our COO, Jeff Smith, spoke with Desirée Perez about her top culture insights and executive coaching tips.
