Cross-cultural Training
This seminar gathers people from two (or more) countries who are working with one another. The trainer facilitates mutual understanding so that work is not hampered by cultural divergence. An appreciation of similarities and differences, strengths and sensitivities, behaviors and reactions helps to recognize what is at play if misunderstandings occur. Participants build a cultural bridge between one another.
Topics include:
- Similarities and differences
- Potential areas of conflict
- Psychological transfers and projections
- Common and divergent historical heritage
- Territorial identity, subcultures
- Folk identity, values, belief systems
- Social attitudes, managerial and employee behaviours
- Building communication bridges
- Working together: Negotiating, cooperating and creating trust.
