Why Is This Important?
In today’s global business environment, it is critical to understand ‘how business is done’ in each country you are working with in order to be successful. To rise above your competitors, it is important you have a global mindset, cultural competence and the skills needed to lead and succeed globally.
If you 'don't know, what you don't know' when working globally, this could negatively impact:
- your bottom-line
- team morale
- client relationships
And, then you're less likely to meet your business and financial goals in today's competitive environment
"Your course was excellent. I have received many great compliments from the participants about your remarks and the tips you shared. "
