Meeting Host
My name is Renata. I have been a language learner and an expat myself, and I am a language teacher, intercultural trainer, and communication skills coach by profession. My mission is to help people communicate successfully in their own language, in a foreign language, and across cultures and to support diverse and virtual teams turn their cognitive diversity into an asset and collaborate effectively. I also support expats preparing them for relocation and accompanying them throughout the transition including repatriation support. My extensive international living and working experience, multi-lingual ability, and multi-cultural mindset allow me to adapt to my clients' unique situation and tailor my services to their needs. In addition to the paid services I offer to my clients, I provide this free course here on Meetup as a way of giving back to the international community.
