Global Competency for Business – Understanding Cultural Norms
Cleveland Council on World Affairs
May 19 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
Do you work on a global team? Do you interact with international clients or partners? Are you interested in working more effectively with people from other cultures?
WHAT
Join the Cleveland Council on World Affairs for a two-part workshop series to develop skills for working more effectively internationally.
Learning outcomes from the series include:
-
- Learn how to communicate more effectively across cultures
- Understand one’s own cultural perspective
- Identify and gain awareness of underlying dimensions of culture
- Recognize the importance of approaching cultural interactions with an open mind
The workshop series is designed to build participants’ global competency. The workshops are intentionally interactive and self-reflective. We believe that self-awareness and a willingness to accept diversity and unfamiliarity are the foundation of truly successful cross-cultural interactions over the long-term. Our training is rooted in this philosophical approach, and it combines interactive and experiential content to invite participants to approach cultural interactions with a more open mind, while offering well-researched information about cultural nuances.
WHEN
The workshop series will take place over Zoom.
Training dates:
-
- May 19 from 12:00-1:30pm: Understanding Cultural Norms
- May 26 from 12:00-1:30pm: Developing Cross-Cultural Strategies
Participation in both workshops is recommended.
Admission: $250 per person. Registration is required.
Registration: This event will be held as a Zoom meeting. Please register below.
