Learning Culture. Connecting People.
Learn
Each one of us is made up of a unique culture. Learning the why behind what we do not only leads to self-awareness, but it also helps us start to see the why behind other's actions. UBC wants to help you discover the uniqueness and beauty that exist in culture and people. Learning our own culture is the first step.
Connect
Learning about culture helps us build bridges. We connect by crossing bridges to the unknown. UBC wants to help you build bridges in your team, your community, and with the world.
Grow
We grow by learning more about ourselves. We grow by learning more about our co-workers, friends, and teammates. We grow by traveling and putting ourselves outside of our comfort zones. We grow by learning to connect with others that are different. UBC wants to help you grow in all aspects of life.

What people are saying?
“Our organization sends 100+ interns out across the globe each year to various non-profit contexts. Cultural awareness and preparedness is core to our training. Sarah's expertise in the field of cultural intelligence and acquisition is exceptional to say the least. Her multi-faceted training is dynamic, engaging, and equipping. Our interns complete Sarah's training with a renewed confidence of the journey ahead and a full [cultural] toolbox. I've had the privilege of sitting in on Sarah's CQ training numerous times, always walking away challenged with another new perspective and a few more tools for my own toolbox. Her training is accessible to all age groups, personalities, and backgrounds and is a MUST for anyone planning to spend a significant amount of time working with/in a cultural context different from their own”— Jesse Wagner | Program Manager & Internships | Envision
“Sarah’s unique personal and professional experiences combined with her training and education give her an unnatural ability to connect the dots for people in culture, background, personality and motivation. I have seen her train young people, older folks who were learning these principles for the first time and everyone in between. I highly recommend Sarah’s contributions as a consultant, trainer, and coach to help people see themselves and others around them more clearly and then move to a common place of growth.”— Dr. Tim Meier | VP for Development | Christian and Missionary Alliance
