We live and work in a global multicultural space now. Often our home culture is significantly different from the culture of where we work or whom we work with. In today's international context, smart business decisions depend on the ability to communicate effectively across various cultures. This is a necessity for global success.
Cross-cultural communication in the workplace opens the door for potential misunderstanding. Beyond the language barrier, global professionals are daily confronted with different behavior and ways of doing business. Understanding cultural differences and their expectations, raising awareness about diversity and the way employees interact with one another and with clients affects how well a business runs. Ultimately failing to communicate and lead across different cultures and lack of cultural competence can be a bottom-line relevant issue.
This 3-hour private workshop is designed to help individuals to bridge cultural differences, manage cross-cultural teams efficiently and communicate with international clients effectively.
Workshop Methodologies: This workshop will be conducted with a good blend of PowerPoint presentations, self-knowledge questionnaires, videos, and open discussions and practices.
