I am endlessly grateful for the time Barbara spent with me. Her attention to detail is awe-inspiring and her patience even more so. Thank you so much
C&M Cross-Cultural Awareness Program was life changing for me and my team. My company highly recommends C&M services
The lessons that Barbara taught and the wisdom she imparted were an unforgettable lifetime lesson. I'll be eternally grateful!
The Superyacht course touched on a wide variety of topics that won’t only help individuals in their career on yachts, but also going out into the world. For more junior crew that have not had much experience with VIP guests, I felt that the course helped them harness the confidence to walk amongst these guests and provide an exceptional service". Personally, my eyes opened up to how diverse different cultures are and how important it is to research and respect different people’s cultures.
A real life turner, we are all now heading in the right direction with so much international wisdom and confidence
What an elightening and life changing course. I wish everyone would have the chance to spend this precious and productive time with the C&M team
