"If you enter a region, ask what its prohibitions are; if you visit a country, ask what its customs are; if you cross family’s threshold, ask what its taboos are.” 

– The Book of Rites (Li Ji), One of the Five Confucian Classics, ca. 500 BC.

ABOUT KAREN

Karen's personal and business experiences abroad give her a unique expertise at evaluating risk and unlocking the value of intercultural relationships to ensure success for her clients as they navigate cross-culturally.

"As a first-time sojourner to China I was as nervous as I was excited. Karen's cultural insight eased my fears, balanced my expectations and enhanced my learning experience. She is not just knowledgeable; she knows how to help others apply that knowledge in a practical and purposeful way.”

"In the spirit of reconciliation, I acknowledge that I live, work as a cross-cultural trainer and consultant, and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut'ina, the Îyâxe Naoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta."
