Seminars and Intercultural Coaching
   





All our Seminars and Intercultural Coaching are business specific and have a strong team coaching component. Speaking a common language such as English does not by itself guarantee effective communication. It is also important to be aware of the different behaviour, attitudes and values of people from different cultures.

Our workshops are not briefings or lectures about culture, but rather intensive experiential activities fully involving participants in order to create conditions for them to experience, and hence understand at a deeper level, different cultural dimensions, and to facilitate their learning in finding solutions to difficult situations. Workshop leaders or trainers are not lecturers, but rather mentors, counsellors, coaches or facilitators who help participants in their own exploration and learning. This involves team building and group work with debriefing discussions. Activities in our workshops include:


Perception: examining the relationship between perception and values
Value Orientations - exploring one's and others' value systems
Observation: Observation skills as distinct from evaluation
Critical Incidents: Discussion on expected reaction of diverse cultures in mini scenarios
Models to understanding cultural differences
Simulations & Role-plays around business decision-making and negotiation, process-mapping
Conflict Resolution: ways to mediate conflicts from intercultural point of view
Communication: Rules and roles, messages & media, hot & cool, analogue & digital
Organisations: organising principles - different structures, 'glocal mesh' issues
Team-building activities, situation-specific case studies, and action research tasks
   
With our coaching you will learn how much importance you should attach to intercultural and economic differences and how you can build lasting business relations in China.
