CULTURE
‘Sealing the deal’ or getting your foot in the door often comes from not ‘what’ you say/do but ‘how’ you say it/behave/respond. We can help you blend culture, language and emotion to help you get it right. In France, a business lunch is mainly about the lunch and less about the business. Often, they have already decided that they want to do business with you – the lunch is an opportunity to get to know you in a relaxed, informal and friendly atmosphere. We are particularly adept at this in both countries being tricultural and trilingual. We are thus uniquely placed to understand both cultures and provide you with experience-based guidance/training on relevant issues which will lead to helping you ‘cross the line’ and maximise your effectiveness. By being able to understand and manage these cultural differences, you will enhance your performance. The training will help you ‘SHOWCASE’ your skills to become even more confident in your abilities – by comparing and analysing similarities and differences between the respective countries in respect of:
