Our Story

Many of us may have a rude awakening when we realize that our adult assumptions of professionalism do vary across cultures and the idea of a global work culture is a myth. In such cases, we may feel the need to change certain things to fit in or be successful. Such situations can make us feel at odds with ourselves. We may feel estranged or even question our identity and values..

This is where Jennifer Kumar (Founder and Managing Director of Authentic Journeys, pictured on this page) steps in as a coach to help you understand the essential skills and behaviors necessary to be successful when working across cultures.
