Working with CIS Abroad's Consulting Team has been an incredibly positive experience. Their professionalism and preparation are on point—they come to every session with well-thought-out, multi-modal materials and consistently demonstrate reliability and respect for our time. But what truly sets them apart is their calm and curious energy. Even in the most emotionally charged situations, they create a safe and constructive space that helps diffuse tension and encourages open communication.

An unexpected benefit of working with CIS Abroad was their authenticity and vulnerability. They model the kind of openness and trust that fosters real growth and connection. To other institutions considering working with CIS Abroad, I would say: don’t hesitate. Their approach will enhance your team’s skills and can help transform how you work together—but only if you’re willing to put in the work yourself. If you do, the partnership will leave a lasting impact.
