International Business Etiquette for the Global Professional

This thought-provoking 1-day module is designed for executives who want to stand out and make a difference. In this world without borders, it is your understanding and respect towards other cultures that will impact your success rate. First, however, we’ll need to see if you understand your own culture well enough.

Ever wondered why some people are slower than others when it comes to climbing the corporate ladder? Nowadays, qualifications alone are not enough. Employers also value attitude, the ability to ‘fit in with the company’s culture’ and the skills one has to interact politely and appropriately in social and business situations. In other words, your manners, business etiquette knowledge and cultural intelligence are the characteristics that will distinguish you.

In this interactive workshop you will learn how to master the different situations you will find yourself in when conducting business internationally. Make a lasting impression wherever you go through your knowledge, credibility and sound cultural understanding.

The Polished Professional module will provide a deep insight into today’s essential requirements to be competitive in the global arena. We will walk you through the ways on developing and maintaining business relationships and trust as well as provide you with the tools to project a confident and professional image while strengthening your business presence – both physically and virtually. In this competitive world, the greater the cultural sensitivity, the more prosperous the relationships. Whether you are in Europe, Africa or Asia.

You will enjoy learning how to decode non-verbal communication, refine your networking skills, confidently make polished introductions, master tricky foods, understand proper workplace behaviour and adopt a professional presence at meetings, via video conference, on-line and during off-the-clock gatherings.
