Intercultural Training For Business Executives

with your international counterpart as well as knowledge of his
business practices and culture.
Cultural literacy is a MUST in today's interdependent global climate! Many of our overseas competitors discovered this a long time ago and took appropriate action which made them highly successful. Cross-cultural experience and multi-lingual capabilities are seen as an integral part of international business success!
Whether you need to entertain foreign visitors or prepare for a lengthy stay overseas, our cross-cultural trainig programs will provide you with the cultural knowledge that will ensure your success.
Cross Cultural Training Programs for Business
International business success requires effective communication,
solid knowledge of your international counterpart's business
practices and culture, and if at all possible, foreign language
skills in addition to solid prospects.
Dealing with business associates from different cultures can pose special problems. Ways of communicationg are different. Negotiating tactics are unfamiliar. Your counterpart may have a different sense of time, and may be pleased or offended by actions, words or gestures that you take for granted because they are the norm in the United States. Marketing tactics differ greatly and succesful U.S. advertisements can easily turn into failures overseas.
U.S. Orientation For International Visitors
A visit to the United States, whether for business or pleasure,
is greatly enhanced by cross-cultural orientation. To ensure
a successful stay in the United States, international visitors
are invited to participate in one of our seminars called:
Introduction to the U.S.
Our seminars facilitate an understanding of the American way of life and knowledge of American business practices. Ways of communicating are different and American business behavior can be quite unfamiliar to the visiting businessperson. Marketing tactics differ greatly; successful advertisements in other countries can easily turn into failures in the U.S.

How To Avoid Culture Shock In a New Country
Successfully working and living abroad requires new arrivals
to adjust their personal lifestyles to fit into a different
culture and most probably, language. For international
business as well as personal interaction, understanding
the culture of a country can be even more important than
knowing the language. Our intercultural instruction
will focus on a country, area, or region to help the
business person or private individual adopt and thrive there.
Living Abroad for Dependents
An extended stay overseas can create adjustment problems for
dependents. It is important to integrate your private and public
lifestyles into those of your host country. Our intercultural
instruction will facilitate your dependents' entry into a new
and different culture.
