Intercultural Competence Training Courses
Whether you have international clients or a diverse team, working effectively with different cultures takes a special skillset.
Culture is not just nationality. In fact it can include 15-20 different factors including age, gender, work and life experience as well as personality types and communication styles.
Our intercultural competence training courses give your managers and teams the tools to build relationships with colleagues and clients alike, ensuring your organisation makes the most of the opportunities this diversity brings.
