Cross-Cultural Communication
Overview
Thanks to globalisation and technology, our world has become a global village; each day we live, work, do business with, and interact with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Without a high level of inter-cultural intelligence, you simply cannot succeed in international business or for that matter, in any inter-cultural environment.
On this course, participants will learn the attitude and skills to correctly interpret and adjust to the culturally defined behaviour of others, with the aim of achieving a favourable outcome for everyone involved. Special attention will be given to practical strategies and techniques to communicate effectively, cultivate trust, and build relationships across cultures.
