Trainings
General Cultural Awareness Programs
These programs are suitable for managers and team members alike who work in a culturally diverse environment or who want to better understand what triggers culturally diverse behaviour to improve their intercultural competence.
To work more effectively together we need to be aware of how our cultural upbringing impacts our beliefs, behaviours, perceptions and judgments and how it affects our perception of the unfamiliar. We have to ask ourselves how sensitive we are towards the backgrounds, needs and behaviour of people from other cultures. How mindful do we communicate with them and are we able to establish satisfying relationships to bridge the cultural differences?
Intercultural Communication
For a successful and efficient cross-cultural communication we need to understand our own communication style as well as the communication style other cultures have. We need to be aware how communication is perceived and what we can do to avoid misunderstandings. We need to learn how to apply proper strategies without the feeling we are losing our authenticity.
To be able to communicate and act with sensitivity towards our counterparts, in order to succeed in having sustainable and effective (cross-cultural) conversations, needs to be a basic skill set for anyone working in today’s global world.
