Teams are more global than ever. Working well with people from different cultural backgrounds now decides how fast and how smoothly work gets done. This Cross-Cultural Communication workshop in Hong Kong helps your team communicate better and build positive relationships across cultures.

The programme is interactive, with minimal theory. It runs as two short sessions. The first builds awareness of working styles with Lumina Learning. The second uses Culture Mapping to show how culture shapes values, mindset, behaviour and bias.

Objectives

• Build individual and team awareness of working styles based on psychological preferences and cultural backgrounds
