Successfully doing business in a multicultural environment with Laura Weller
How do cultural differences in the way we work impact our business performance? What are the cultural factors influencing management and communication styles?
Managing and working with people from different cultural backgrounds can be challenging for any business professional; something all too clear to people working in Singapore and the Southeast Asian region. A global mindset and cross-cultural awareness are the two most important competencies that business professionals need when working across cultures.
The aim of this evening talk is to:
- better understand the critical impact of culture on business
- get some practical advice on how to adapt to different working and communication styles
- improve your intercultural competence regarding the Southeast Asian region
Intercultural business consultant Laura Weller from Timeo-Performance/Akteos-Asia will give insights on the impact of culture on business. Different attitudes towards leadership, decision-making, giving and receiving feedback, communication, hierarchy, building trust etc. can create confusion, misunderstandings and false perceptions. Get some insights on how to overcome the cultural gaps and improve collaboration across cultures.
