Bridging cultural differences with storytelling

The cultural diversity leads to creative solutions, enhanced working processes, and enrichment of perception. The multi-perspective approach can cost time, money and energy, though. How to enhance working with persons from different cultures? You can bridge cultural gaps only when you show acceptance regarding differing working styles, cultural values as well as culture-bound expectations. Join one of the intercultural storytelling programs, combining intercultural training, micro-coaching and re-narrating approaches.

Multicultural Team Development

Ready to improve cooperation across cultures, to raise trust and bring your team to the next level? Cultural diversity adds value to your working experience as every person brings different flavor to the teamwork. Check how you can enhance the development of your team with a Team Coaching with a focus on intercultural and virtual dynamics.

Leading global teams

Stage fright before the next step? Leading across cultures has changed the definition of leadership in the globalized world. As a team leader you co-create the working space and communication culture & motivate your team members from different cultures. The mixture of management and leadership skills makes it possible to find the balance between the waterfall practices and inspiration of the team members.

Culture as a set of stories that we enter.

Jérôme Bruner

When we perceive culture as a set of stories we dive into, we immediately understand the importance and value of sharing stories in the intercultural communication. These stories enormously support mutual understanding both at the cognitive as well as the emotional level. Investing some time in exchanging stories about working habits, communication styles, decision making, giving and receiving feedback and expectations towards leadership and management in different cultures enable us to create a common ground to „read“ different cultural codes and act accordingly to newly co-created guidelines.

In the VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world of the 21st century, intercultural competence is one of the crucial competencies. Reflecting your own cultural influences as well as gaining knowledge regarding other cultures are the first steps on the way to the rise of your intercultural awareness. For widening your intercultural sensitivity, you need more, though. With Intercultural Compass and me as your intercultural Coach, Trainer, and Facilitator you have the opportunity to set on a unique journey to the personal development, gaining intercultural competency and cultural intelligence fitting your requirements and wishes.

You can choose between Coaching, Intercultural Training, and Facilitation, and enhance multicultural team development and global leadership development with programs combining all the three forms of this intercultural guidance, tailored to your needs.  You may also work on your personal development with the narrative approach and discover the power of storytelling across cultures
