Program Description
Working globally is challenging for many reasons, and differing cultural communication styles often exacerbates the difficulties. Whether it is differences in the importance of hierarchy, the preference for direct or indirect communication, or the value placed on relationship-building, a lack of awareness of cultural expectations can often impede the success of global business interactions.
We invite you to join us for a one-hour session on “Culture and Communications Issues that Impact Global Business” where a number of these issues will be addressed:
- Why agreements across global boundaries are often misunderstood
- Understanding the multiple meanings of 'yes'
- How to obtain clear agreement among global colleagues
As part of this session, you will also be given complimentary access to the industry-leading GlobeSmart Profile℠ for use with your global colleagues and team members. The GlobeSmart Profile allows you to quickly see similarities and differences between your preferred style of interacting and that of other cultures, individuals, or team members.
The webinar will be presented by Aperian Global, an organization dedicated to enabling individuals, teams and organizations to work effectively across boundaries.
