Cultural Intelligence
At the core of all our programmes and training is the need for each of us to be culturally aware, or to develop our 'cultural intelligence.' Our own culture is invisible to us; we are ignorant of its influence upon us until we come into contact with someone from a different culture.
 

Business: cultural intelligence gives you the awareness and skills to deal with a range of international business contacts.
Service Providers: cross cultural awareness for those who provide a service to people from other cultures.
Migrant Workers/International Students: help for those adjusting to British culture and for those who employ them.
Personal Coaching: Regular coaching sessions for those who travel abroad and/or have to deal with cross-cultural issues.

"The prime mistake many British businesses make is to assume that culture and business practice are similar overseas. Nothing could be further from the truth."

Sir Ian Wood.

 

Family Matters: Family preparation and on-going contact, if required, for your family during an extended period of cross-cultural contact.
Volunteers: Cross-cultural preparation for teams of volunteers who will be working short term in a cross-cultural situation.

Very interesting!! I can immediately see differences, contrasts and how these can affect understanding.

 
Made me aware of the deeper levels of issues that I need to think about before entering into a cross-cultural situation.
 
This has made me 'think carefully before making assumptions and judgments.
 
Realising it's not just the visible things - but how much deeper culture goes.
 
This will help me help my clients who are expanding into different cultures
 
I will use this to develop the Race Forum and encourage others to have this training.
