Overview:
As global business expands bringing everyone closer, the key to a successful business outcome may be the appreciation and respect for regional, country and cultural differences. Knowledge of international business etiquette, manners and culture is necessary in order to work and negotiate effectively. People need to understand and adapt to the cultural and language differences of their business partners in order to build strong relationships with them. Etiquette, manners and cross culture, or intercultural communication have become critical elements required for all international and global business executives, managers and employees; etiquette protocols such as how firm a handshake should be to how to address people, food etiquette, body language and style of communications are all essential to make a good first and lasting impression.
The age-old adage ‘When in Rome….’ certainly applies. Each culture has its own rules of etiquette, cultural do’s and don’ts, business customs and they vary significantly around the world. As our jobs become more and more globalised, many of us find ourselves travelling and building relationships with people across international borders. Getting it wrong can make or break your international business relationships.
This workshop will give you a wealth of information and resources that you can immediately apply during your national and international business travels and overseas assignments and will show you the importance of understanding the uniqueness of cultures around the world and how to apply the skills of proper business etiquette and manners to become more successful.
Who should attend?
This workshop is ideal for anyone working in the international diplomatic, governmental, corporate, private or public service sectors. Or if you are an individual and would simply like to improve your knowledge of the subject.
