What People Are Saying About Amy

 

“The One-Day Intercultural Program was super informative and opened my eyes. I not only received insights on building trusting relationships with my local Taiwanese colleagues, but I also learned about who I am. I am more aware of what to observe for and the appropriate words and behaviors to use in the office. This has helped me at every corner in my office.

Thank you, Amy!”

— Kenta Kubokawa, London Stock Exchange


“Learning about Amy’s experience and knowledge of multi-cultural environments was incredible useful to me, and provided me many different ideas for navigating my first overseas assignment in Taiwan. With the knowledge, I had a great head start and I was able to surprise many of my coworker’s with a familiarity of the culture that they did not expect. Her book, “Taiwan A to Z”, is packed full of information and valuable insights. I was absolutely more effective at teamwork and communication with the local Taiwan team thanks to all of Amy’s guidance.”

— Clay Roberts, Micron Technology

 

“Our cultural advisor, Amy C. Liu, provided invaluable and insightful material during her presentations that not only enabled us to survive our assignment in Taiwan but actually to thrive in the work environment as well as in the amazing culture around us.  Not only is Amy extremely knowledgeable in the local and regional cultures she is also very articulate and engages each participant ensuring her audience is grasping information, concepts and relationships. ”

— David Beale, Corning


“Amy’s ‘Cultural Awareness Group Training’ was a high-quality and interactive session for my team. With our mixing team members of different cultural backgrounds, communication becomes complex and challenging. This program goes beyond the basics that our intercultural team received not only the cultural insights, best practices in doing business with our Taiwanese counterparts, we also learned from real-life examples and practical advice for moving forward to enhance project success.

The program has strengthened our intercultural competence—ways to build better ‘Guanxi’ (relationships) as Amy referred to as the magic in connecting with the local Taiwanese,  improving decision making process and enabling smoother communication.”
