Cross-Cultural Training – Cross-Cultural Intercommunication

It is sometimes the simple mistakes we make, like showing the soles of our shoes or giving a thumbs up, when dealing with different cultures that can ruin a relationship or months of hard work. Learning the simple cultural do's and don'ts can avoid this and help generate respect and understanding.

Multimedia Languages & Marketing offer cross cultural communication training to organisations and individuals who are exporting or may be dealing frequently with colleagues in another country, going to live and work abroad, professionals coming to Australia, or those that come into regular contact with ethnic minorities in Australia.

Our presentations cover a wide range of topics including history, politics, customs, taboos, values and basic etiquettes. Furthermore we specialise in business culture, offering pointers in areas such as greeting, entertaining, negotiation techniques and management structures

 

“…the single greatest barrier to business success is the one erected by culture."
Edward T. Hall and Mildred Reed Hall

“Culture is a thin but very important veneer that you must be careful not to scratch. People from different cultures are basically the same and respond in the same way. However, make sure that you understand their basic customs and show an interest and willingness to learn the differences between your cultures.”
Mike Wills

 

Why Cross Cultural Training?

Today, more than ever business success requires intercultural awareness and effective cross cultural communication skills.

Working, meeting, dealing, entertaining, negotiating and corresponding with colleagues or clients from different cultures can be a minefield. One wrong movement or basic misunderstanding could ruin or delay months of work.

Understanding and appreciating intercultural differences ultimately promotes clearer communication, breaks down barriers, builds trust, strengthens relationships, opens horizons and yields tangible results in terms of business success.

We help people maximise their potential on the global stage through our mind-opening cross cultural awareness and intercultural communication courses. You can turn to us with confidence.
