"Culture and Personality" - ECA talk on May 6th

I have been invited to speak about the link between Culture and Personality Type at the Expat Coach Associations' monthly call on May 6th. There is an increasing interest in how cultural and personality patterns are connected, what research is available - and missing - and how to bridge disconnects that seem to be present. I hope that this call will be very interactive and that participants from different fields will contribute to extending our knowledge.

The call "Culture and Personality" will take place on May 6th, 9 am Eastern, 3 pm CET.
