From Good Intentions to High Performance: Enhance Psychological Safety & International Collaboration
Global teams perform better when there is more psychological safety and knowledge about international & cross-cultural performance. Cynthia de Jager bridges the gap between intention and impact and helps leaders turn diversity into high-performing teams and organisations.
Today, collaboration between different nationalities and cultures is the norm, but it also means new challenges. Miscommunication, unintended frustration, and different views on psychological safety can hinder even the most talented teams. For expats and international leadership, one cultural misstep can cost trust, innovation, and performance.
Cynthia de Jager has over 20 years of experience in international leadership and over 30 years in top sports, where she learned from personal experience that good intentions are not enough. What is needed? Data-driven insights, cross-cultural expertise, and proven insights for psychological safety.
As a certified Fearless Organization Scan practitioner (Prof. Amy Edmondson) and trained by Prof. Erin Meyer in international leadership, Cynthia not only uses her experiences and scientific knowledge, but she also initiates real change. Her keynotes, workshops, and coaching help organisations to:
• Build high performance by promoting psychological safety in diverse teams, both in the (international) business world, government, and top sports
• Enhance international and cross-cultural collaboration with concrete, actionable strategies.
• Turn challenges for expats into opportunities, from onboarding to talent retention.
• Better align & perform global teams
• Unique dual expertise: The rare combination of both psychological safety and cross-cultural performance is unique in the world. Additionally, she knows both the international business world & the top sports world inside and out.
• Proven impact: Collaborated with and trusted by leadership teams within ING, ASML, KLM, Ministry of Defence, UEFA, professional football clubs, and many more.
• Energising sessions: Whether as a keynote speaker, masterclass facilitator, or chairperson, she ensures your event is not only inspiring but also sets a movement in motion.
