Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes CultureShift Services different from other coaching or consulting groups?

At CultureShift, we don’t offer “one-size-fits-all” programs. Our approach is relational, reflective, and practical. We walk with you through change—whether you’re an individual, a team, or an organization—helping you clarify your goals, process your story, and take intentional steps toward lasting transformation.

2. Who do you work with?

We work with both individuals and organizations. That means we support:

Individuals seeking personal growth, coaching, or transition debriefing.

Teams looking to build trust, collaboration, and effectiveness.

Organizations navigating cultural differences or pursuing healthier workplace culture.

3. How does coaching work?

Coaching is a collaborative process. We meet regularly (often by video call, but sometimes in person) to clarify your goals, explore challenges, and create actionable steps forward. CultureShift coaching isn’t about giving you answers—it’s about helping you unlock the answers already within you.

4. What is debriefing, and why is it important?

Debriefing is a guided reflection process that helps you make sense of transitions, challenges, or cross-cultural experiences. Rather than just “moving on,” debriefing gives you the chance to process your story, identify lessons learned, and prepare for what’s next with greater clarity and resilience.

5. What do you mean by “intercultural development”?

Intercultural development is about building the awareness, skills, and adaptability needed to work across cultures with respect and effectiveness. We use proven assessments and training tools to help you or your team grow in understanding, reduce miscommunication, and build stronger connections in diverse settings.

6. Do you offer team building that’s more than just “fun activities”?

Yes! While fun and connection are part of the process, our team building goes deeper. We design experiences that not only strengthen relationships but also address real issues like communication, trust, and collaboration. The goal is to help your team walk away with practical tools and lasting change—not just a one-time bonding moment.

7. How long are your programs?

It depends on your needs:

Coaching often works best over several months to build momentum and solidify change.

Debriefing can range from one extended session to several guided conversations.

Intercultural development can be a single workshop or an ongoing process.

Team building can be a half-day event or part of a longer engagement.

We’ll work with you to design a plan that fits your goals, timeline, and budget.

8. Do you work virtually or only in person?

Both! Many of our services are highly effective online (especially coaching and intercultural development), while others—like team building—can be even more impactful in person. We’ll adapt to what works best for you.

9. What is the first step if I’m interested?

The best place to start is with a free initial conversation. This gives us a chance to hear your story, explore your needs, and see if we’re a good fit for one another. From there, we’ll recommend a pathway that makes sense for you.

10. Is this only for businesses, or can individuals benefit too?

Both. Some people come to us as individuals (seeking coaching, debriefing, or intercultural growth), while others come as leaders bringing us in to strengthen their teams or organizations. Our services are flexible enough to support both contexts.

11. How much does it cost?

Our services vary based on scope, length, and format. We tailor each engagement to fit your needs rather than using a cookie-cutter package. During our first conversation, we’ll discuss your goals and provide a clear proposal so you know exactly what to expect.
