Gateway to Greek
Two people can understand every word of a conversation and still walk away with completely different interpretations.
The same words, tone and behavior can mean very different things depending on the cultural system you're operating in.
After more than a decade living in Greece and working between cultures, I've become fascinated by the hidden assumptions that shape how people interpret the world around them.
Through workshops and writing, I help people understand what others are saying between the lines.
Once we understand the system behind the behavior, misunderstandings that once felt personal begin to make sense.
“The same interaction can leave one person feeling respected and the other feeling rejected.”

So much of what people hear in conversation comes from implication, tone, timing and cultural expectation.
This work focuses on making those invisible patterns easier to recognize in business environments and everyday life.
