She is a published author by Encyclopedia Britannica, and has taught intercultural communications at universities here and abroad. Harriet has been commended by the Fulbright Commission and given an award by Rotary International for creating friendly relations among peoples of the world—and not just because she knows to kiss twice in Spain and three times in Italy.Harriet has been interviewed by NBC, ABC, CBS, Crain\'s Business, Asahi Shimbun Daily, and more.

From Ohio to Spain to Japan to Wall Street, I draw upon my varied international corporate experience to speak, train, and coach.Specialties: Keynote Speaking, Cross Cultural Trainings and individual Executive Coaching.
