Show Notes

How will expat working conditions change in the next 5 years? And why do people find it so hard to work together across cultures? This episode was the very first live talk of the show, with the audience present and a live Q&A session at the end. Welcome to the Expat Summit. Three seasoned intercultural experts from across the world will share their experiences. Meet Gabor Holch, Tom Roberts and Francis Kremer.

Gabor Holch is an intercultural leadership coach, consultant, speaker and author specialised in East-West leadership. He supports corporate executives and public-sector leaders in succeeding across national and cultural boundaries instead of getting lost in translation. An expat since age 4, Gabor moved to China and transitioned from diplomacy to consulting in 2002. In 2005, he founded his Shanghai-based business, Campanile Management Consulting.
