-3 Day Seminar
1
Day Seminar
This small group training (4-6 participants) has been
developed for newcomers: employees and their spouses. The morning session
will focus on the meaning and value of intercultural communication.
We will look at some general cultural communication and perception traits
and how one's awareness of them is helpful in both business and home
environments.
In the afternoon
session we look at specific topics of importance and interest to the
participants. Prior to the seminar, class members will receive a questionnaire
asking them for their input on which aspects of Germany they would like
to focus (e.g. political system, history and economy, culture).
Please keep in mind
that a one-day seminar can only address the "surface" of intercultural
training and is designed to help the participants over their first culture
shock after arriving in Germany.

-3 Day Seminar
In
this seminar we go much more into depth about cultural differences in
communication styles, values, mannerisms, and stereotypes. We strive
to have a mix of participants from various backgrounds and cultures
in each group so as to maximize the interaction and learning. People
who intend to remain in Germany for an extended period will especially
benefit from this seminar.
The new global economy
demands that successful business people not only be aware that differences
between cultures exist, but to understand and respect them. The ability
to cope with different cultures plays an essential role in international
business today.
This training program
can be specifically tailored to a company's needs; for example a seminar
to bring together group project participants early on in the life of
a project so as to maximize effective and efficient communication and
avoid delays and missteps due to intercultural miscommunication.
The seminar is most effective in groups up to 12 participants. The training
takes place either at our facilities or in-company.
