It is all too common for people in international groups to misunderstand each other, either in a spectacular fashion or, more often, a subtle way that impedes progress. With over 13 years of training international and intercultural groups, Mijnd Huijser has developed, tested and refined a powerful tool that helps overcome the obstacles inherent in global teams. While most of the experience comes from multinational organizations, the insights are applicable on a national level, an organizational level and even a small unit level when differing cultures cooperate. Huijser's Model of Freedom provides a visual and practical method for understanding oneself and others, converting tension to energy and leveraging the advantage of culture.

Mijnd Huijser is the founder of CMC (Culture and Management Consulting) with offices in Amsterdam, and a network of affiliates in Europe, Asia and the U.S. He worked in joint assignments with Geert Hofstede's Training Institute, Fon's Trompenaars' THT Consultancy and the Royal Institute of the Tropics in the Netherlands. He lives in The Netherlands.
