Working With Another Culture
Whether your company has merged with a foreign organization or you have to negotiate a big contract with people from another country, you need to understand how they work and this training will share with you the tips (dos and don'ts, business etiquette or negotiation styles) you need in order to succeed in your project. This program will help you as well to acquire intercultural competencies and skills.
Expatriation
This program is organized to facilitate the integration of expatriates and their families in their new culture by exposing insights into regional cultures using expert international consultants and personalized developmental tools. Participants will learn how to live and work in their new culture. We can also organize programs for the children.
Repatriation
We sometimes don’t think that returning home can be a challenge but statistics and studies show that repatriation may be sometimes more difficult and frustrating than moving to a new country. This training helps expatriates and their family to re-adjust at the professional and personal levels.

Intercultural Team building
The last decade has seen the rise of international teams made up of professionals of diverse nationalities and backgrounds. These differences may cause significant clashes in terms of decision-making process, conflict resolution or management styles. This training will help team members to understand their colleagues and develop intercultural intelligence in order to create a better synergy within the team and it will provide solutions, guidelines and techniques to help the team building process.
Kickoff Events
If you are organizing seminars somewhere in the world for your whole team made of people from different cultures, this training is the opportunity to make this event more fun and help members to get to know each other better and develop intercultural intelligence. We can prepare conference style presentations or intercultural games or simulation or any sort of activities that will perfectly fit in the spirit of your kickoff program.

Tailored Training and Consulting

Individualized coaching and training programs

We don't have any standard programs since every organization and client is different and culture is not an exact science, that is why we make a point to customize the programs for you and we find the right consultant that fits your organization and needs.

Case Studies

Global Leadership
A large company had appointed one of its managers at a key international position. This person was very competent, and had experiences working with other cultures but was having a hard time to put all of his experience into perspective. We organized a Global Leadership program that helps him to deal with external realities of cultural differences (values, beliefs, etc.), the internal realities of self-reflexivity and personal leadership and the cognitive capacity to deal with differences. We used the Country Navigator to identify his cultural profile and The International Profiler for his leadership approach.
Working with Americans
A French company had merged with an American organization and the cultural differences created major conflicts and misunderstanding between the teams. We trained the French on the American way of doing business and we did the same on the American side and, in some situations, we organized team building sessions, especially when managers had under their responsibility 50% of Americans and 50% of French. We used movies, documentaries and many real case studies.
Living and Working in the Middle East
We trained a high level American manager and his family to help them integrate smoothly in the Middle East. We organized a program for his spouse to help her build a personal project. A youth trainer facilitated a session for his 2-boys teenagers to help them going through the transition phase and understand the Dos and Don’ts in the area and the impact of religion. Regarding the top executive, we focused on business etiquette and management style in the gulf area but worked as well on his cultural profile and leadership skills in order for him to become a global manager in this part of the world.
Team building
One of our clients had hired people from around the world and needed to work on the team spirit. We organized a program that covers the following topics: the role of culture in the team, main cultural differences between members, each member's cultural profile in order to analyzing the skills and competencies necessary to better work in a team, how to leverage cultural differences and create a "common culture". In terms of tools, we used International Team Trust Indicator as well as value assessment and personal action plans.
Working virtually
One of our major clients was having issues working virtually, essentially communications problems. We created 2 different programs depending on the hierarchical level and responsibilities of the persons involved.
Stress Management
We facilitated this program for a company that works in the medical assistance industry where the teams have constantly to bring emergency responses as well as to deal with cultural differences. Some examples of the topics we covered: understand stress and its impacts, list tactics for successful time management, discuss how to prioritize, physical and mental techniques for coping with stress, create reaching goals. We used the DISC profiles (Arc-En-Ciel) for participants to understand better their profile and develop coping mechanisms when in a situation of stress.
Kickoff Event
A multinational company organized a team building seminar for its multinational sales force in a beautiful castle just outside of Paris. They wanted to integrate as part of this special event an entertaining presentation on the topic of Intercultural differences. We developed a 2-hours presentation involving games (Barnga) and situational exercises and simulations (Role plays) in order to make them aware of their differences and how they can value them (model of synergy).
