This approach, built upon my understanding the nuances of Korean-based business and their companies, has proven to be extremely successful for my clients.<\/p>\n<p>This new role was driven from ten years\u2019 of listening to teams and leadership share (and, at times, vent) challenges. Frankly, after listening to this dialogue, I felt that this expanded value-added approach\u2014one clearly within my skill sets &#8212;would serve my clients well.<\/p>\n<p>As we begin 2014, I look forward to supporting you and would like to discuss how this new service can help you meet your firm\u2019s strategic challenges.<\/p>\n<p><a
