In this rapidly evolving time of globalization and diversity in our workplaces, our cross cultural seminar teaches participants how to understand the differences between themselves and their colleagues from around the world. We look at recognizing these differences and selecting valuable communication tools that will allow more effective communication. Delegates who attend this dynamic, fun and experiential workshop will leave with the following take aways:

What is Culture?

Understand all the elements that make up culture across the world and how thinking patterns can be shaped by environment and upbringing.

The NLP Communication Model

Understand how language is processed through our minds, changing our emotions and affecting our behaviour.  This process differs from country to country and culture to culture.

Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions

Participants get the opportunity to learn about their own cultural dimensions and those of their company. We can clearly see areas of conflict that can arise if the cultural dimensions differ.

Cross Cultural Mistakes

Understand some common mistakes that can be made due to cultural misunderstandings.

Direct & Specific Language

Take the example of Korean Airlines where indirect language resulted in a plane crash; we look at where our work and projects “crash” because of weak language
