Why I made this guide
Hi, I'm Tressia. I'm a Global Marketing & Korean Culture Strategist with 14+ years of experience working across Korean and international teams.
Throughout my career, I've worked between different cultures, clients, companies, and communication styles, from my first global role in Singapore to years of remote collaboration across borders.
Again and again, I noticed the same thing: Many cross-cultural misunderstandings weren't caused by bad English or lack of professional skills. They happened because people were operating with different expectations.
That's why I started turning what I'd learned into practical guides for professionals working with Koreans. This Starter Guide is the easiest place to begin.
 
 
This Starter Guide is for you if...
You currently work with Korean clients or teams
