CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!

BENEFITS:
In this global marketplace, knowing how to effectively communicate with counterparts from different cultures is essential to your success and your competitive advantage.

People you encounter will increasingly be from cultures and education systems that are drastically different from yours.  One culture may value something more than another. Without incorporating a cross-cultural program for staff, colleagues or yourself, you and your business risk developing more interpersonal conflicts, frustrations and costly mistakes that will impact your bottom-line and reputation.

Understand:  Without knowing the fundamental differences of another culture, you could unintentionally offend your foreign counterpart (i.e. giving your Chinese colleague a clock on his birthday without understanding that clock signifies death/life ticking away).
Cross-Cultural Connector will help you define and compare the cultural parameters that make one culture different or similar to another culture.  

Attract:  Cross-Cultural Connector will also give you the etiquette that defines a culture but also impresses your foreign counterparts. Your knowledge of another culture reflects a level of respect and understanding, making it easier for you to resonate with an individual from a different culture.  Instead of going into an encounter with a new culture unprepared, you will interact with ease.

Engage:  Now that you have a grasp and understanding of another culture, not only are you able to resonate but also engage without fear or frustration.  Cross-cultural understanding and communication are imperative to having successful collaborations that embrace diversity and trust without alienating people.

Expand:  Engaging with another culture is rewarding as it will open doors and lead to other opportunities.

WHO should consider Customized Cross-Cultural Coaching session:
Anyone in the business world from small to large companies.  Staff and teams from universities or government organizations who are hosting Chinese delegations or attracting Chinese clientele.  Chinese companies interested in US market and partnerships.
