I’m opening a limited test run of Germany Decoded: 1:1 Culture Coaching.

In many cultures, promises are flexible.
In Germany, they’re expected to happen.
Words are treated like commitments.

In many cultures, trying to impress people builds trust.
In Germany, it can do the opposite.
Quiet confidence is often seen as more credible than strong self-presentation.
