INTERCULTURAL BUSINESS TRAINING FOR YOUR INTERNATIONALS
Every culture has its own unique business style and expectations. Our international business skills training equips global professionals to navigate cultural differences, build trust, negotiate effectively, and succeed in cross-border collaborations.
A concerning fact is that the failure rate of expats that have been sent abroad is estimated at around 40%. This causes extremely high costs for corporations and individuals, which can even lead expats to abandoning their international aspirations. The good news is that most failures can be prevented with the right professional help.
