TESTIMONIALS
“Tanya has vast knowledge and experience in her work. Her work on OD focusing on East Europe is unique and high quality. I highly recommended having her service.”
Niv Nachlieli, HR Director, NICE Systems
“Tanya has provided our management team with an excellent workshop focusing on cultural differences and management of R&D in the Ukraine. Tanya was knowledgeable, articulate and created a very good atmosphere. The workshop provided our team leaders with insights to the Ukraine engineer mindset and thinking processes as well as general knowledge on Ukraine affecting our every day management. It was very interesting to see how even Jungo managers who were working with the Ukraine engineers for some time now, benefited from the nuances Tanya covered. I would certainly recommend this workshop to anyone considering working with East European subcontractors.”
Gil Regev, Director of R&D, Jungo
“Tanya organized a training for our team that is working for Israeli customer in the field of software development. The idea was to show us the difference in mentality between people in our countries. To tell the truth, before the meeting I could not even imagine how interesting it could be! We got a good structured picture of the subject, based on many sources, including various scientific cultural investigations, Tanya's personal experience, other references. The atmosphere of the training was great - we smiled a lot! Additionally we were able to discuss the cases which we experienced during our cooperation with Israeli people, and got some motivation why such cases could happen. I would like to thank Tanya a lot for the training, since it helped me to summarize my past intuitive experience, and also pointed me to some new thoughts and ideas!”
Shamil Yagiyayev, Associate Director, Program Management, Frog
Tania is quite explicit on the points of her work and really love what she does. Her articles with helpful information and powerful advices with clear vision on how to do business in Russia made me to get into a lot of emotions include laughing and thoughts how to improve what has been done.”
Israel Lisovski, CEO, ZionClinic
"I have worked with Russia and Croatia over a long period of time. Tanya has confirmed my findings, structured my knowledge and gave a lot of practical advices."
Vera Donovan, Regulatory Affair Specialist, EMIA, TEVA
“I would like to share my experience from cross-cultural training with Tania: Tania's presentation skills are great, therefore the massage is conveyed vividly and stays with you for a long time. The study cases and discussions encouraged wide participation and many shared from their personal experience. Moreover, it was fun! On the first trip after the workshop I saw results, we better analyzed business situations and responded more adequately in pre-sale and negotiation. Since the tips given were very practical, we managed to implement them immediately. Thank you!”
Yulia Milshtein, Director of Operations and Business Development, Avent Asic Israel
"The workshop was very instructive, gave a new perspective to employees who have never worked in Russia and will need to do so soon as well as put some order in the thoughts of the ones already working in Russia. The atmosphere and the way Tanya passed the information was very clear and methodological but also very welcoming questions and interruptions when needed. The feedback from employees was very positive and I would recommend any management member, finance person or any other person who will have to sell/ deliver or give support to a Russian customer to attend such a workshop. Most valuable of the training was also that it convinced Russian- speaking employees that they are much more different than locals."
Elena Ohayon, HR Director, IDIT Technologies
"After the success of the workshop "How to work with Ukrainians" for Israeli managers in the headquarters in Israel, we decided that it is necessary that our Ukrainian partners learn about Israeli business culture as well. Tanya was sent to the Ukraine to deliver two workshops for our offshore R&D and QA subsidiaries in Kiev and Vinnitsa.
All the workshops were highly informative and focused on business cultural differences in Hi Tech industry between Israel and the Ukraine.
The workshops provided the participants with structured and focused knowledge on how things work in Israel. Our managers learned what managerial behaviors are mostly appreciated in Israel and received practical tips on how to behave in various situations. Tanya also showed impressive slides that illustrated the topic.
It is important to say that not only the workshops were very useful and instructive, but also enjoyable due to open and friendly atmosphere, constant interaction between Tanya and the participants and various case studies and exercises that Tanya adds during the workshop. It also gave our Ukrainian teams a good feeling of being taken care of and assured them that the difficulties they have to deal with are seen in the headquarters.
Based on my many years of experience in managing offshore groups, I think it is a must to hold such workshops in the beginning of going offshore. It will help to prevent many misunderstandings, conflicts and even self-resignations of some of your Ukrainian managers.
I would certainly recommend this workshop to every company that has business relationship with Israel and/or the Ukraine."
