Red Doors - Barbara Carini


I am Barbara and I am in the international business relationships field.

I worked in Italy, Europe and I spent almost a decade in my second country: China.

Thanks to my journey, both private and professional, I have learnt that the necessary ingredients to successfully communicate with foreign markets cannot just be counted on one hand. Nevertheless, the ability of listening, understanding and identifying with the counterpart empathizing is definitely the key instrument for a long-term cooperation.

Starting from my experience, I help companies to communicate at their best with foreign markets, developing their full potential and assisting them in establishing long term business relationships.

Doing business with cultures completely different from our own is not instantaneous. Relationships are based on trust, which can be built when, not only the linguistic obstacles are overcome, but also the cultural barriers are broken, when you learn to think like the other person.

Companies rich out to me to understand what their counterpart is saying from a linguistic, cultural and business point of view, in order to avoid any waste of time, conflicts, gaffes and consequent/resulting account and projects loss.
