Your training program in 3 steps

  • Prior to the training program, we ask you to complete an online intake form. If you prefer to discuss your personal learning objectives in more detail, we’ll be more than happy to schedule a one-on-one intake call. Based on your learning objectives, background, and focus areas, we’ll match you with a training group with similar professionals. In this way, the training will be aligned with your situation and learning objectives.

  • The two-day training program ‘Intercultural Communication’ is spread over the course of two weeks. Each training day combines inspiration, theory, and practical exercises. There will be a mix of plenary sessions, group assignments, and time for reflection. In this way, the skills you acquired can be put to use right away.

    In between the two training days, you’ll apply what you’ve learned in your daily work. During the second training day, you’ll discuss your experiences, insights, and results with the trainer and the group. Your training program ends with a personal evaluation and a clear plan of action for the future.
