What Brigitte brings to The Training Box...

I started my career in marketing and sales with multinational companies (Colgate-Palmolive, Mars) in Austria and Germany. What interested me most about my various management positions was how to motivate people from different backgrounds to work towards a common goal. The success of this process relies heavily on communication – a subject which has fascinated me ever since. I have worked as a management trainer for over 15 years, specializing in presentation skills, train-the-trainer and cross-cultural programmes. Serving as a member of the Board of the International School of Abidjan has given me experience within a non-profit environment.

My focus

To coordinate the wealth of cross-cultural experience shared by the Training Box associates and use my train-the trainer background to help tailor training programmes to the client’s needs.

I have experienced cross-cultural issues from various angles. I am Austrian, married to a British Italian, speak 5 languages, have lived in 10 different countries and worked in many more. Helping people to develop their potential as well as being part of a team of experts is a major part of my personal journey of life-long learning.
