Learn with Dr Key
Build confidence in communicating across cultures and in diverse interactions.
Stories First, Theory Second.
Every session starts with a real experience that actually occurred. Together, we’ll unpack what went wrong, why it matters, and how to handle it differently.
Understanding cultures isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being curious and willing to adjust.

Who I Serve
Your faculty and staff help prepare students for global experiences and to become global leaders, but cultural awareness isn’t always part of their training. I bridge that gap with lectures and workshops that are practical, honest, and actually memorable. No academic lectures. Real stories, real strategies.
Diverse teams are stronger teams, but only when people understand each other. I train professionals how to decode different communication styles, conflict norms, and expectations while building trust that holds across backgrounds.
Whether you’re traveling to a new country or taking classes abroad, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I share what I’ve learned from 14 countries and over 20 years of work in international education. I made the cultural mistakes so you don’t have to.

We all ended the class very happy, you motivated us and gave us so much joy. We really appreciate that you took the time to share your experience and thoughts with us even though you were feeling under the weather. You made a huge impact in my life!

Introduction to Global Hospitality (2026)
Even though the speaking part is typically not my strongest area, this class truly helped me push past my comfort zone. Because of the environment you created, I feel much more able to interact naturally with people from different cultures.
