It can be tough working in an international or intercultural environment. Working together with so many different people, coming from lots of different angles, can even start conflicts from the get-go. This results in the inability for you to reach your goals, which is obviously not your objective. 

This course is the answer to all of those areas that could create tension. It teaches you all you need to know about cooperation at its finest. Your personal values and behaviour shall be put centre stage, and it shows you how to build a solid professional relationship with others. Moreover, you’ll practice interacting with people from all walks of life. 

There are techniques that enable you to prevent conflict or to nip it in the bud. These skills allow you to dive deeper into intercultural issues and how to tackle them should they rear their ugly heads in the future. 

The following subjects are covered:

• Teams and other collaborations
• How to create an effective team
• The mission and goals of a team
• Roles and responsibilities
• Team communication
• Team culture
• Team development
• The power of (cultural) diversity

This course improves your skills. We can guarantee that. How? Before you start your course, you take a scan. This determines your starting level and helps set the right goals. You receive a personal report. That way, you know exactly where you stand, what you want to accomplish, and how to get there. Your trainer helps you to focus and develop, in order to reach your full potential. After your training is done, you take another scan. This end measurement shows how much you’ve grown, and where you can still develop your skills further.
