An Intercultural Workshop for Teaching and Engaging with International Students
BOOK
INTERCULTURAL WORKSHOP FOR EDUCATORS
DELIVERED VIRTUALLY. TAILORED TO YOUR ORGANISATION.
_
Teaching and engaging with international students is at times challenging.
Best practice techniques for dealing with local students can often be ineffective when dealing with students from diverse cultural backgrounds. A high degree of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) can only go so far when educators have to navigate difficult cross-cultural situations
This workshop builds on your existing EQ to develop Cultural Intelligence (CQ), with a focus on overcoming cultural barriers for achieving success.
In this live-facilitated half day intercultural workshop for teaching and engaging with international students, you will collaborate with your peers to identify practical cross-cultural strategies that address challenges specific to your organisation.
As a qualified intercultural business consultant, I’ll take you on an investigative adventure that unpacks up to three real-life scenarios.

WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?
FROM FRUSTRATION TO SUCCESS
_
It can be truly frustrating when someone stands between you and your goal of accomplishing a task, completing a project, delivering a service, or closing a deal.
In most situations, you can draw on years of past experience to navigate a solution.
But when you’re operating in a new country or dealing with someone from a different cultural background, those strategies that may have worked for you in the past could miss the mark, or even backfire.
That’s when cultural intelligence and an ability to relate to people from a range of cultural backgrounds are critical professional skills.
I have personally coached over 100 global executives to overcome their cross-cultural business challenges, including the challenges listed on this page.
If any of the listed challenges are barriers to achieving your professional or business goals, this course is for you!
Let me show you some proven methods to overcome your frustration and get you back on track for success.
