Cross-Cultural & Leadership Training:

Berlitz also provides many cross-cultural and leadership training programs for companies with staff involved in international projects or in key roles, and for those with offices/clients in other countries or when expanding. As many companies are working closer with clients, suppliers or colleagues in other countries, it is essential for people to have a better understanding of cultural characteristics. This will ensure that any cultural differences or communication difficulties are avoided to achieve success. 

The most popular corporate training solutions include: 

• cross-cultural communication (global negotiations, meetings, presentations, customer service)
• effective selling to other cultures
• conflict management
• leading global teams 
• diversity and inclusion
• cultural orientation/psychometric analysis

These programs range from basic awareness and understanding to advanced skills to suit different needs or SMEs and large companies. We also have the Cultural Navigator online program that will analyse your cultural profile which can then be compared to over 100 different cultures worldwide, helping people to understand their own characteristics to ensure success with overseas business or migration can be achieved. 

We also provide extensive customised programs for companies that require country or industry specific content to suit their needs. These are available with either private and group instruction in any location, blended learning, or online/web-based platforms.
