About Yvonne van der Pol

My background is in development sociology, and I have over 20 years of experience as a trainer, coach and consultant with an unique specialization: intercultural effectiveness. I am based in the Netherlands and work internationally.

What others say: “A committed and competent intercultural professional”.

Why is intercultural competence vital to you?

  • Imagine… you always communicated effectively and relaxed with people with a different cultural background
  • Imagine… you understood how to get in synch easily with your foreign business partners and with others in your multicultural team
  • Imagine… your international project ran smoothly

Achieving better results in international and intercultural work is more reachable than you would think. The clue is not in adding more knowledge, nor in simple do’s and don’ts, but in the layers of subtle understanding underneath that knowledge – and in developing your intercultural competences – with the final outcome of becoming interculturally effective in your work. This not only provides you with more time, energy and fun, but also gives your company a better return on investment.

Reflections on Intercultural Craftsmanship

This collection of Reflections on Intercultural Craftsmanship offers an insightful and sometimes entertainingly fresh perspective on intercultural effectiveness. It was published in November 2017.
