SUMMARY:CROSS CULTURAL TRAINING WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: Friday\, September 20th\, 9:00am   4:00pm   \n\n	WHERE: Suite 1650\, Station Tower\, 13401 - 108th Ave\, Surrey \n\n	SPECIAL RATE: $295.00\n\n	 \n\n	In this rapidly evolving time of globalization and diversity in our workplaces\, our cross cultural seminar teaches participants how to understand the differences between themselves and their colleagues from around the world. We look at recognizing these differences and selecting valuable communication tools that will allow more effective communication. Delegates who attend this dynamic\, fun and experiential workshop will leave with the following take aways:\n\n	 \n\n	What is Culture?\n\n	Understand all the elements that make up culture across the world and how thinking patterns can be shaped by environment and upbringing. \n\n	 \n\n	The NLP Communication Model\n\n	Understand how language is processed through our minds\, changing our emotions and affecting our behaviour.  This process differs from country to country and culture to culture.\n\n	 \n\n	Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions \n\n	Participants get the opportunity to learn about their own cultural dimensions and those of their company. We can clearly see areas of conflict that can arise if the cultural dimensions differ. \n\n	 \n\n	Cross Cultural Mistakes \n\n	Understand some common mistakes that can be made due to cultural misunderstandings. \n\n	 \n\n	Direct & Specific Language\n\n	Take the example of Korean Airlines where indirect language resulted in a plane crash\; we look at where our work and projects "crash" because of weak language \n\n	 \n\n	 \n\n	ABOUT US\n\n	 \n\n	Andrew Woods is a professional speaker\, university lecturer\, author and facilitator of soft-skills training around the globe. Formerly the founder of one of the UK's leading soft-skills training companies\, he has provided training workshops for over 300 companies in China\, Hong Kong\, Saudi Arabia\, Singapore\, Malaysia\, Canada\, the United States\, Ireland\, Italy and the UK.\n\n	 \n\n	Lexxon Training provides transformational workshops that inspire organizational change and personal development for all levels from the CEO to the front line worker.
