Adventure World: Communication International
Would you like to conquer new markets or improve your existing presence? Do you work with foreign specialists and don't always find the same wavelength?
I help you to optimise your communication in an international context and successfully place your messages in different cultures. In doing so, I combine my many years of experience in international projects with the possibilities of artificial intelligence.
What makes my intercultural counselling special?
- Intercultural competence: I have strong intercultural skills and am particularly familiar with the particularities of the cultural groups in the former Soviet Union, the Arab region and the Balkans. My experience ranges from intercultural expertise to personnel management and the management of subsidiaries abroad.
- International project management: I have successfully completed numerous international projects. I have a deep understanding of the challenges of international communication and international project management.
- Language and cultural skills: As a linguist, literary scholar and media expert, I can work out how messages should be communicated authentically and effectively in other cultures. To date, my country experience extends to more than 30 countries.
- Practice and experience paired with digital progress: My training programmes are varied and are tailored to the individual needs of my clients. In all training sessions, I use interactive and AI-supported tools, such as chatbots, to simulate challenging situations in the best possible way and develop solutions.
All programmes can be held in German, English or Russian.

We are also happy to make stopovers on various planets.

In this seminar I offer you customised training to strengthen your intercultural competence in general and to improve your communication in other cultures. Practical experience comes mainly from countries of the former Soviet Union, the Middle East and the Balkans.
How do I behave in a foreign culture? How do people from other cultures feel far away from home?
- Intercultural models: We look at common models and frameworks that help us to understand the cultural customs of the respective countries.
- Cultural customs: Learning to understand foreign cultures. What am I allowed to do and what should I refrain from doing? How do I move around in a foreign culture?
- Dealing with difficult situations: We simulate difficult situations and try to find realistic solutions with the help of experience, models and intuition. Can AI help with this?
- Language competence: You will learn how to convert a chatbot (e.g. ChatGPT4o) into a kind of 'translation function' or teacher for foreign languages.
My many years of experience in the private sector as well as in international donor projects in challenging cultures are the basis for the itinerary we are travelling on this planet.
You will learn about the special features of Eastern business practices, knowledge of which can make the difference between success and failure.
- Business culture: They learn to understand the business culture of the respective countries and how to behave accordingly.
- Risk analysis: We analyse the environment and try to better assess risks. Knowledge, experience and intuition are paired with AI.
- Project management: Other countries, other regulations. Every country has its own 'bureaucracy' and attaches importance to different things. But where can I find the information and how do I assess its quality?
- Networking: How does successful international networking work? This is where opinions differ. Because what applies in other cultures can be interpreted completely differently here.
- Personnel management: I provide you with tools to help you find the 'right tone' when dealing with teams whose members come from different cultural backgrounds.
I wrote my master's thesis on 'Russian advertising language' in Moscow in the 1990s, when the first foreign marketing agencies were just starting to gain a foothold. Even then it was clear that a pure 'text translation', for example, was sometimes embarrassing, funny or even offensive. The right choice of colours or shapes is also important. Unfortunately, we in the West usually take our cultures as our starting point, but every culture has its own particularities and we have to take these into account in our communication.
I offer you an insight into the specifics of international marketing and communication and help you to strike the 'right note'.
- International communications consultancy: I offer you a practical insight into the application of intercultural communication strategies and tools. Among other things, AI-supported tools are used.
- Presenting and online communication: Especially in cultures where emotionality and passion also have their place in business life, interesting, loud and moving presentations are appreciated. Online meetings can also be more lively and innovative. You will learn about the right interactive tools for this on this planet.

I offer you different formats to start your mission into the galaxies of international co-operation and communication. Choose the launch pad that best suits your needs. All of them are available in face-to-face and online formats, but with slight differences in the delivery and presentation of the content.
In intercultural communication, I generally prefer face-to-face events, as the direct exchange and shared experience as well as body language are particularly valuable.
