Anna is now licensed in the IRC (Intercultural Readiness Check) after completing the course with Dr. Ursula Brinkmann in Amsterdam in December. She joins Bjørn Christian in becoming a licensee and also 15,000 others who have taken the IRC survey and are in the IBI database. The IRC helps individuals and companies to determine whether potential or current expats have the skills necessary for a successful intercultural experience. It offers practical tips on your strengths, pitfalls to avoid, and specific ways you can improve. The point is that you can always improve and acquire the skills necessary for an intercultural assignment.
