Our expertise for intercultural seminars from the international business world

Our training not only raises your awareness of your own culture, your own management style and your attitude to working with American partners, but also increases your efficiency in working with your colleagues and business partners from the USA. This will enable you to make the right decisions right from the start, rather than through trial and error, and thus act more efficiently and build cooperation on the basis of mutual trust. This leads to an increase in international cooperation throughout your company and is the basis for your business success in the USA.

Successful cooperation with the USA:
Intercultural training USA

As the world’s largest economy, the USA is still the leading sales market for Western European companies. But even though many of us grew up with Mickey Mouse, McDonald’s and Hollywood movies, there are major differences in mentality and communication between the old and new world. The “American way of life” can have many an unexpected pothole in store for Europeans. Precisely because the USA seems so familiar to Western Europeans, these differences are often underestimated. The intercultural training USA from Global Cultures provides you with the necessary knowledge to ensure successful cooperation.

Lecturers with international experience from the private sector: Intercultural seminar

Our experts come from the private sector and are therefore very familiar with the requirements of day-to-day business. The basic requirement for our experts is many years of experience in business with the respective target country. Our experts for intercultural seminars either come directly from the USA or have several years of professional intercultural experience in the USA. Participants in our seminars can thus benefit from direct experience in the business world. This increases the business relevance of our programs and the implementation in professional practice above average and thus guarantees outstanding results for your business success through the intercultural seminar.

A good solution for many countries – our intercultural training is practical for 112 countries.

Global Cultures – Academy for Intercultural Management offers you a broad spectrum of: intercultural training and intercultural coaching — from general preparation training for short-term projects abroad to exclusive seminars and industry-specific intercultural troubleshooting. Intercultural training from Global Cultures is specially tailored to the requirements of internationally active companies and corporations. We place particular emphasis on the benefits for everyday business. Your employees learn how to deal with the other culture and can thus better respond to intercultural peculiarities.
