Welcome to Culture Counts
Working Globally has become a rallying cry for businesses around the world.
Reaching out to new markets and finding new operational efficiencies not only makes sense but
it's been made easier by today's technology. But it's also fraught with challenges.
Digital information crosses borders seamlessly but working with teammates across borders is not
nearly as seamless. Because Culture Counts.
Culture Counts is a consulting and training firm that helps people work better across borders. Whether it's an key employee leading a six month training project, relocating for a two years or simply working with a team abroad we can help.
We've worked with companies who are far along in building their global teams and encountering challenges as well as firms who are preparing to work globally and want to move quickly and minimize errors and misunderstandings. Both groups have come to recognize that Culture Counts.

Their approach to work follows the same pattern. Do your teams know how to work together

kindergarten or even preschool. Asian students know that questions can signal disrespect

evidence in the workplace. Do your managers know how to tap into these diverse skill sets
that they learn so early in life? Click here to learn more. [link to ]
“Yes, I think so” can mean very different things in different cultures. In some cultures
it represents an 85% probability. In some cultures it is a polite way of saying no. Do
you know the cultures where the “yes” is more important and the cultures where the comma
and the “I think so” are more telling? Click here to learn more. [link to ]
