Who is this course for?
If you are part of a company or an organisation that has rapidly spread across the globe to different geographic locations, you are bound to come across people from completely different cultural backgrounds. Although we consider language the main means of communication, language only represents 7% of what we communicate. It is the non-verbal behaviours that make up most of what is communicated, which can easily be misunderstood or misinterpreted across different cultures. This course is for anyone who desires to break through this barrier and work towards common goals across intercultural zones.
What is in it?
Modern technology has opened new marketplaces for us to promote our businesses to new geographic locations and cultures. With this expansion, comes the need for new levels of understanding and skills in order to communicate effectively with those form different cultures. This course offers you a valuable set of models and insights into how different cultures function, and how we can make the most of our knowledge of them. The sessions will contain practical workshops with case studies and opportunities to explore and tackle your own personal challenges.
What will I get out of it?

• Appreciation and empathy for the work ethics and approaches of different cultures
• The ability to adapt your interpersonal behaviour to fit the cultural norms of your business partners
• Stronger cross-cultural working relationships
