Meet Sally Walker, a career and executive coach, with an intercultural specialism - who helps people and organisations work better across cultures.

This is an addition to my series: ‘Real life Personal Brand Examples’.

I invited Sally to come and share the story behind her work, from studying French and working in global HR roles, to becoming someone who now supports executives, expatriates and families through the emotional and practical realities of moving countries and working internationally.

You’ll hear how her own experiences of homesickness, relocation, cultural misunderstandings and rebuilding life abroad shaped the way she approaches people today.

This conversation goes far beyond business etiquette or learning cultural “rules”. Sally shares why cultural intelligence is really about learning how to better understand ourselves and the humans around us.

This episode is thoughtful, warm and deeply human.

Come join our conversation and see if anything resonates with your own journey to finding your specialism.
