Pre-Departure Programs
Transferring overseas and working in a different culture can be exciting, interesting and very productive.
But let’s face it, whether working alongside a foreign colleague or negotiating with global clients, different styles of communication and business can cause serious confusion and misunderstanding.
There are endless cases where lack of attention to cultural issues has severely damaged working relationships and clear business opportunities.
Before being assigned, it is extremely useful to understand:
- How “they” make decisions
- How to influence and persuade “them”
- How to impress “them” in meetings or presentations
- How to behave at social events with “them”
Not knowing the answers may mean a struggle to develop a strong working relationship. And in turn it will be very difficult to find synergies and achieve good business results.
With our extensive history of training and consulting worldwide, we can help the employee or manager about to be transferred how to understand how different cultures think, communicate, work, socialize, and do business.
Our programs will train participants how to adapt communication style and behavior. Assignees will learn to send the “right” signals and do the “right” things to themselves in a far stronger position to achieve organizational goals.
