Working Effectively Across Culture

This course is usually a one-day course, but we can also offer a more flexible format to accommodate the needs of your organization. Featuring interactive exercises, participants will engage in robust discussions that challenge their current thinking about cultures. Participants will have opportunities to meet other members from diverse countries sharing their challenges, insights, and best practices.
​
This course gives clients the ability to communicate and work effectively with people from other cultures while considering and not violating their beliefs, valued rules, norms, and the expectations of the relationship. At the end of this course, clients will be aware of how their own cultural background and experiences have influenced their work, attitudes, values, and biases.
