Stefano Cazzaniga, CEO | LC America
"Paolo Nagari is an outstanding communicator, able to open people's minds on the amazing opportunities offered by an intercultural environment. Too often the cultural differences represents a big issue for many companies that have to face new challenging situations. Paolo helps them to change these big threats into great opportunities of growth. His Intercultural Intelligence approach demonstrates how different points of view can enrich any modern organization, explaining how to take advantage of the potential synergies offered by an open minded management."
Jodi Wabiszewski , Instructional Designer & Project Manager | GE Healthcare
"Paolo has developed a terrific program for anyone working on global teams or within culturally diverse groups. The beauty of the program is that it is not culture specific and it gives you tools to use in any cross-cultural, global situation. Paolo’s enthusiasm and passion for his work is contagious. It was a pleasure working with him."
Federico Vecchiarelli , International HR Operations | Eni International Resources Ltd
"Paolo is a trustworthy and valuable professional in his field and is capable of understanding perfectly the needs of the client and its purposes, and to convert them in enjoyable, useful and productive management hints and training contents. His work for my Company has been brilliant, widely appreciated and most of all suiting our requirements entirely. If you need to boost your awareness in working in multicultural environments, in developing relations with people from different countries, in understanding others’ peculiarities and attitudes, Paolo will represent an excellent choice for your organization"
Victoria Szoboszlai , Conference Content Producer | HR at Fleming Europe
"Working with Paolo, I found him to be an enthusiastic, strategic thinker, always a step ahead of the requirements needed to catch the attention of our Delegates and to deliver the key messages of his unique approaches. His indepth knowledge of intercultural intelligence aligned with his excellent speaking skills provided great added value at the 2nd Annual Global HR Forum, which I was lucky enough to produce partly. Paolo is a thoroughly nice person and a professional that I am pleased to recommend"
William Sparks , Director of Leadership Initiatives at McColl School of Business | Queens University of Charlotte
"Paolo is an outstanding professional who has the very rare combination of depth of expertise (International Management and Intercultural Dynamics) combined with an extraordinary style that is both personable and genuinely friendly. We have hired Paolo to be our resident international (Europe) "expert" to provide coaching for our graduate students before their study abroad. He is superb and I look forward to our continued working relationship. If you have a business interest in Italy or Europe, or are considering expanding there, hire Paolo ... I give him my very highest unqualified recommendation"
Rohit Bhargava , Marketer, Speaker, Blogger, Professor & Bestselling Author | Georgetown Univeristy
"Paolo is one of the few people in the world with the unique (and generally underappreciated) skill of helping managers and future managers to be culturally aware. His framework for intercultural intelligence goes beyond the usual country by country advice that you find in most books. Instead he is an expert at using his vast experience of dealing with people from different cultures to teach ACTIONABLE advice. When I asked him to guest lecture a group of professional Masters students in my Georgetown University class, he taught them more about intercultural intelligence in 2 hours than they likely may have learned in 2 years of living abroad. Hire Paolo, or just go and listen to him speak at an event or conference.
