Intercultural skills
Intercultural skills constitute an entire set of tools which help us to function effectively in a multicultural environment. Cultural, geographical and religious differences mean that we view reality and even social roles in disparate ways and, when we need to communicate or work towards closer collaboration, that can often give rise to problems. Building a multicultural team with a genuine ability to collaborate is a true challenge.
Where and how have you run into this problem on your own account? Perhaps you’re charged with leading a group of people hailing from various parts of the world? Or maybe you’re dealing with a client base representing an array of nationalities? No matter what it is that you’re struggling with, one thing that’s certain to be of driving importance to you is building long-lasting and satisfying relationships.
The training is ideally suited to anyone who has contact with an international environment and would like to improve their communication with people from other cultures and achieve a better understanding not only of foreigners, but also of themselves.
