Includes effective strategies to help managers

Cultural awareness is more than just a management phrase. It goes to the heart of our ability to become aware of our cultural values, beliefs and perceptions.

This course will explore effective practical strategies and everyday tips to help the manager far from home or their comfort zone not only to survive but also to thrive and enjoy the experience. The speaker will work with delegates to create scenarios that reflect the issues faced by them; appropriate situations generate active engagement.
