Succeeding Internationally:

Tips & Tools to Communication Across Cultures

 

 

What are the dos & don'ts of living and doing business in abroad? What do you have to consider about the foreign labour market that you may not have anticipated? GMS’s cross-cultural introduction will help you learn everything from the language, to food, to business etiquette.  Since everyone’s needs are different, we offer this program with four backgrounds in mind:

 

Basic 

You want to quickly grasp the rhythm of everyday life and this is the introduction for you. Perhaps you will only be relocating for a short time. This is a bare-bones quick introduction that includes: basic social vocabulary, common customs and basic business etiquette and an introduction to your new city (where to shop, eat and socialize).

 

Standard

You are probably going to be relocating for 1+ year(s) and may be with a spouse.  In addition to the basic package, this includes: basic social vocabulary, common customs and basic business etiquette and an introduction to your new city (where to shop, eat and socialize), your spouse can join in on the introduction. After the initial introduction (half-day), we will meet for a 2-hour “check-up” to make sure your transition is going smoothly and help fill in any blanks.

 

Executive

This introduction is meant for middle managers with or without their family. You are probably relocating for 1, 2 or even more years!  This introduction combines a cultural introduction with language training/coaching for the duration of your stay. After a 1-day introduction seminar, you will also begin weekly coaching/language training. You will: learn social & business vocabulary, business etiquette, be introduced to your new city and receive weekly support and feedback. Within this package, you have the option of training the language, social and cultural sections with your family or separately.
