Central to her vision are 'tribes', groups of people with a shared culture. Knowledge about tribes and cultures is essential, especially within the (international) corporate sector. Tangible results can only be achieved when bridges can be built between cultures. Working and living as part of a tribe also forces people to look at themselves from another perspective. Two important (and sometimes seemingly opposing) forces are key: power (results, achievements) and love (relationships, trust, connections).

The challenge is, also for companies, to find the right balance between these two.

She also mentioned that the culture's story should be told in a language others can understand; 'Tell me your story in a language I understand and I want to be part of it.'
