Cultural Intelligence Learning Objectives

Understanding Culture

We will dive deep into how culture impacts you as a manager, reflecting on how culture overlaps with business. Through understanding your own culture and values, you can then start to observe the behaviours and communication styles of other cultures. This will empower you as a leader to become a cultural bridge builder, with the ultimate goal of reducing the number of misunderstandings and missed opportunities of success when managing internationally.

Practical Tools

You will learn about different dimensions of culture and how working styles overlap or differ from your own style of working and communication style. You will develop cultural agility in terms of your behaviour and communication, practising with real-life examples that regularly cause misunderstandings and delays when leading global teams.

Excel & Advance your Cultural Intelligence

You will learn how to lead successfully in diverse environments & improve your performance through developing your “push & pull” competencies. We will look at why being flexible and building rapport with others is important (pull), but how being focused on goals and maintaining inner purpose (push) will keep you on track!
