This interactive session focuses on the key cultural traits of the Spanish and LATAM culture and how to avoid the most common pitfalls when doing business with Spanish or LATAM companies or when working with Spanish or LATAM colleagues.

Rather than speaking about stereotypes, we will be focusing on each country’s tendencies in order to develop work strategies that include how to build business relationships, negotiate and conduct meetings more effectively in high uncertainty avoidant countries where hierarchies are big and belonging to the group is essential to conduct business.

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 key aspects of the Spanish and ‘Ibero-American’ (Spanish-speaking) countries’ working culture
• Learn how to adapt your communication and negotiation styles
• Be aware of dos and don’ts when dealing with Spaniards and LATAM
• 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.
