Have you ever experienced the challenge of meeting a business associate in another country, or called a colleague overseas, only to realise that things are not making sense? Despite both of you speaking English, there seems to be a disconnect. Even though you both possess ample experience, finding common ground on the best course of action remains elusive. Your counterpart’s behaviour seems strange and leaves you uncertain about how to interpret it. Our Cultural Briefings will help you navigate these and many other situations.
We offer Cultural Briefings for Doing Business In... a wide range of countries. Click on each country for a sample Course Outline for our most popular courses: China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Middle East, Spain and the US.

One-to-one culture coaching offers many benefits particularly for executives tasked with leading diverse teams or moving into new job roles.
At its core, our coaching entails a series of purposeful conversations, with the aim of enabling you to avoid cultural pitfalls, gain the trust of your international counterparts and adjust your style and behaviour to work effectively across cultures.
Our experienced culture coaches possess an extensive array of tools and methodologies at their disposal; nevertheless, they don't adhere to a fixed procedure or framework. They will pose perceptive questions, attentively listen, contribute their unique standpoint, and introduce challenges and constructive critique when warranted.

Communicating with others is an integral part of life. While most exchanges are easy and successful, there are times when communication is misunderstood, and relationships are damaged. When people work across cultures, the chances of this happening are much greater, as each member brings their own cultural conditioning of what is "normal" to the encounter.
