This coaching aims at developing the “cross-cultural intelligence” of expatriates, to ease their integration to a new cultural environment.
This program is very different from classic trainings addressing intercultural challenges. It favors a better approach connecting with others, based on the study of each individual background. The idea is first to become aware of your personal set of values, and to be able to perceive the cultural subtleties of a new environment.
Through concrete case studies, we then train our participants to develop their ability to better communicate and interact with others in the long run.
