Who
are we ?
A
united team of consultants, coaches and senior bicultural trainers
(all of us being experts for at least 10 years in the appropriate
country) on the 28 countries & cultures that we cover
on 4 continents. The team has grown relentlessly in the past years.
Consultant
and trainer of the team are not only experienced in terms
of international business, but are also enlightened
to the psychology of company (a majority of them are accredited
to the coaching of leaders). Our stakeholders are not “multiple-card”
trainers to the intercultural matters but work exclusively
with us, with the tools and the pedagogy that we have developed.
All of them share a taste and an ease for adventure and are united
around the value of our values and our nomadic spirit.
Crossroads
was created in 2003 by Christel Paris-Bicking, who is bicultural
in French German. She worked for more than 10 years as manager and
consultant in the domain of acquisitions and mergers international
HR management.
She has long been fascinated outside of her work by the discovery
of others and particularly by nomadic cultures. She wished to federate
this personal interest to the latest research in neuro-psychology
and management with the goal to train managers to be sensitive to
others, to manage diversity, and who wish to distance themselves
from standard dogmas of company development.
For this she surrounded herself other authentic Bicultural trainers
and combined the support of the best researchers and stakeholders
in pedagogy, sociology, psychology, neurology, and anthropology.
Graduate of Sup de Co Bordeaux, of a Master in Marketing & Management
international and a training to coaching , she’s equally an
associate teacher to EM Business School – Lyon and in many
High schools in France and Overseas.
The
organisation has 2 central units based in Lyon which coordinate,
network, research, and deal with the logistics for all countries
concerned
in Europe, Asia, Africa, America. …. They have a permanent
link with :
- our
representatives in Paris
- our
office and partners for the development of our activities (office
of Tunis, Alger, Dublin, Shanghai, Milan, etc…)
- our
partner for the logistics of outdoor seminars (Frankfurt/Germany)
- our
research partners in neuroscience and human sciences (University
of Chicago, etc)
Faithful
to our value of welcoming different cultures in the “Tuaregs
manner” our head office is open to every visitor and offers
a spacious, convivial and warm environment in which one come to
exchange and work as partners rather than customers.
With
our partner Tour Extrem, we also have use of our own seminar
center in “les Vosges” which offers seminar rooms,
saunas, and ceremonial Indian sites, and playing areas for outdoors
activities. All this in the middle of a preserved forest with a
charming hostel.
All of this has been developed with the greatest respect for the
environment.
