This interactive session focuses on the key cultural aspects of rationality and emotional intelligence. The amount of detail we provide or require in a presentation, the way we deal with questions or objections, our attitudes towards agreement or challenge are very much culture-based.

Useful tips and experience-sharing make this session highly practical and easy to implement.

Prerequisite: having attended the introductory session on ‘Understanding cultural difference’.

• Understand the key cultural dimensions of reasoning style and emotionality
• Appreciate their impact on daily business situations such as presentations and negotiations
• Reflect on personal preferences and their impact on current relationships and work environments
• Build a personal action plan to implement learning in the workplace

A highly interactive 90-minute webinar for groups of 6 to 8, this module alternates short classroom-style explanations with smaller-group / peer discussions and exercises, and individual reflection and planning.

It can also be delivered to multi-cultural teams, regrouping participants from different cultures at the same time, serving as a team-building opportunity as well as a cultural awareness-raising session.
