Cross-cultural presentations

Description

Intercultural awareness makes your international presentations effective!

In the global business environment, understanding and dealing with cultural differences is crucial to the success of interpersonal communication. International presentations can be challenging because gestures, facial expressions, formulation of arguments, humour or narrative style are perceived differently by the presenter than intended. Natural business solutions GmbH has developed an intercultural presentation workshop that helps you to master your specific challenges as a speaker.
