There is a lot to be gained from exploring national cultural characteristics. At the very least, it is good to know whether the person you are about to meet would expect you to shake hands, kiss them, bow deeply or nod your head in greeting.
In this brief workshop we will look at:
5 areas where national cultures differ significantly in the way they see the world
Different ways of greeting and expressing agreement/disagreement
Ways of clarifying misunderstandings
Ways of coping with cultural differences at a distance – on the phone or at a teleconference
Duration: 4 hours

For the first time in history, organisations are experiencing four (and even five) generations in the workplace. What impact will this generational difference have on the way we work? Is there anything that digital natives can learn from the fountain pen generation? And vice-versa?
In this workshop we shall look at:
Differing expectations and how to manage them
Motivation and the shift from compliance to commitment
“I want it all…and I want it now” attitude – how to handle unrealistic demands
Different ways of working with digital natives
Duration: 4 hours
Regardless of nationality, gender and age, we all have brains which allow us to solve problems, make assumptions, learn and remember. However, we often do those things differently. We construct the world and approach problems in ways that may surprise and frustrate our colleagues.
In this module we shall explore:
4 different ways that our brains approach problem solving and techniques for dealing with each of them effectively
How we can make the most of our own thinking preferences
5 neurological drivers that affect our reactions to change and how to deal with them
Duration: 4 hours
