Are your key messages understood in one market but not another? Does your company communicate its values across borders? Is your team simultaneously global and local?
Being successful in foreign markets means bridging culture gaps and engaging effectively with very diverse stakeholders, internally and externally. However, managing the intercultural communication process presents its own complex and thought-provoking challenges, which are often overlooked.
Relevant for public
affairs professionals at all levels, this webinar goes beyond the "obvious"
differences in language and cultural etiquette and addresses the deeper values
you must recognize and accommodate when communicating across cultures about
leadership, teamwork, advocacy, staffing and managing relationships.
Effectively managing cultural differences can turn them into competitive
advantages in the global marketplace.
Featuring:
Dr. Gary Weaver
