"Our incapacity to comprehend other cultures stems from our insistence on measuring things in our own terms."
Arthur Erickson
Have you ever hesitated to ask questions or admit you don't know something because you were afraid that you might be perceived as weak or stupid?
Have you ever felt unsure when interacting with a colleague from a different country?
Have you ever held back in saying something because you were intimidated by someone from a different social strata?
The capacity to communicate and interact effectively with people from other social and cultural backgrounds plays a crucial role in determining the success or failure of the role you are playing at work.
In today’s global village, we need to do more than simply be ourselves. To be successful, you need the knowledge, insights and a strategic approach to work effectively with other people from different cultural and social backgrounds.
Here’s what we put you through:
1
Define and understand objectives
2
Self-awareness
3
Envision & knowledge
4
Reflect & Build Skills
5
Integration of Skills
6
Reflect and Plan
And here’s what you get out of this:
-
- Increase your awareness of deeply-rooted personal cultural values & unconscious biases
- Enhance your understanding of situations and people by analysing and creating a cultural code and identifying gaps and overlaps in cultural norms
- Build trusting global relationships that help you communicate more effectively
- Strategically adapt your behaviour to build successful relationships in today’s business
- Integrate your newly-learned behaviour so that it becomes second nature to you
