Today, we are often confronted with international situations. Situations in which we have to prove ourselves and present us and our ideas to others. Meeting these challenges, requires candor but also great knowledge about and sensibility to differences and potentially occurring problems. As a matter of fact, even the most carefully prepared presentation can be disastrous when fundamental details, as the right tone, color or symbols are not taken into consideration.

Content
To rise to the challenges of working in and with international teams, the main focus of this training course is intercultural decision making and responsibility in negotiations and professions. The approach is very practical and is flanked by short theoretical input.
