What Marina Ibrahim's clients say
"We were delighted to engage Marina to speak at our Care Managers Conference. I’ve been following Marina for many years on social media and when we were formulating the agenda for our conference, Marina was the obvious choice to speak about diversity and inclusion. Marina has been a pleasure to work with. She engaged with us early on to ensure she understood the audience and the aims and objectives of the event. We do a lot of conferences for our members and its very obvious to us whether or not our audience engages with a speaker. I’m pleased to say that Marina smashed it. We were really impressed with the level of engagement with the audience and the allotted speaking time flew by before we knew it. I’d definitely recommend having Marina speak at one of your events"
"Marina Ibrahim provided CIPD Shropshire’s first webinar of the new academic year on 13th September 2023 and delivered a topical and thought-provoking session with the intriguing title: Easy EDI for HR Professionals. Marina was a professional and engaging presenter who delivered an informative and interactive session. She shared her wealth of experience and gave our members useful ideas and tools to help establish a positive and integrated EDI strategy. Our members really enjoyed this webinar, finding it both insightful and relevant. We would be happy to work with Marina again."
"I had the pleasure of participating in the first CIM 'Diversity & Inclusion in Marketing Communication' course, expertly facilitated by Marina. She is very knowledgeable in this complex field and is an engaging presenter who welcomed contributions and ideas from the group. It was a great course and I highly recommend working with Marina and benefiting from her expertise!"
"Engaging Marina as cross-cultural coach has been a transformative experience. Her role was crucial in navigating my cultural journey from Germany to the United Kingdom, impacting both my personal growth and professional development. Marina’s exceptional cultural insight and ability to connect across diverse backgrounds were pivotal. Her support was not just comforting but also enriched with knowledge that enhanced my performance in a new environment. The transition was smoothed by her variety of practical strategies and enlightening approaches that eased the integration process. Marina’s guidance was a beacon that facilitated my adaptation and made the cultural nuances more accessible and less daunting. I am deeply grateful for the breadth of her expertise and the depth of her encouragement throughout this significant phase."
"Marina was an absolute pleasure to work with, she has helped me with my move from South-Africa to the UK, every step of the way. I must say her guidance and understanding of relating to different cultures is outstanding. She was extremely supportive and patient with me. Having support with cultural change makes things so much easier to absorb. She has many techniques and informative ways that helps put things at ease. Thank you, Marina for all your support and guidance."
"Dear Marina, Thank you for time and guidance last week. We both now feel much more confident about recognising and understanding the reality of everyone’s “deeper” cultural differences and have a good insight of what to expect when we are in South Korea. We really appreciated the training, and both feel that it was your energy and engagement, and how you found examples and anecdotes closer to own personal situation, that made the day very enjoyable and fun for us too. We are looking forward to our overseas adventure. Thanks again!"
"Today’s webinar by Marina Ibrahim was of a very high standard."
"My first encounter with Marina was while attending a PMI-sponsored webinar titled “Cultural Pitfalls in International Project Management: Communication”. As my own background includes 20+ years working on multicultural and multinational engineering projects, cultural awareness is a particular interest. Both Marina’s knowledge of the wide range of cultural behavioural models and her own personal experience makes her a passionate advocate and coach for global awareness. What sets her apart is that she also understands that while the cultural models help to indicate potential behaviours, ultimately successful teams and projects are built by also taking individual members’ personalities and life experiences into consideration."
"Marina recently supported our 2020 Kick Off Conference in delivering workshops to our international senior management and sales team on ‘Cross-cultural Leadership’. The workshops were aimed at improving understanding and engagement with one of our core values “Open Mind”. Marina is very knowledgeable on this subject and her experience on developing global leaders in their cultural agility and cross-cultural communication was evident throughout her workshops. She was able to successfully translate our brief into the workshop concept with high impact: focused, energising, and insightful. The delegates really enjoyed Marina’s highly skilled delivery and the buzz created that left everyone with something valuable to apply an ‘open mind’ back at work. Marina has been a great pleasure to work with. We experienced her as a creative team player, committed and reliable. We would be delighted to engage Marina again for future cross-cultural teambuilding and communication training to leverage high-performance, problem-solving and innovation, so crucial for the competitiveness of our international organisation"
"Marina prepared me perfectly for my job in Egypt with an intercultural training. She knows how important an international mindset, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast", is and has an excellent background and in-depth knowledge and experience. Thank you again for the perfect preparation in this complex topic and time for answering all my questions Marina! I can highly recommend her!"
