Economic growth, also boosted by EU accession in 2004, was abruptly stifled by the financial crisis from 2008. There is also a sensitive relationship between Latvians and Russians, who make up almost 30% of the population but can only acquire Latvian citizenship by taking extensive tests. Good reasons to take a close look at the conditions in the country and its inhabitants in order to avoid being stifled in business as well.   <\/p>\n<h2>Why us: Experts from the business world<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>They are Latvians or have lived and worked in Latvia for a long time - they have absorbed the specifics of the Latvian market \"with their mother's milk\", so to speak, or have experienced them at first hand<\/li>\n<li>You have several years of professional experience in management or other senior positions in Latvia<\/li>\n<li>Their high level of methodological competence guarantees a fast and efficient transfer of know-how for our customers<\/li>\n<li>Certification as intercultural trainers from renowned international institutes<\/li>\n<li>Training and certification as a business coach<\/li>\n<li>Training and experience as systemic organizational developers<\/li>\n<li>This is how we ensure the quality standards that not only we have for ourselves, but also our customers have for us.<\/li>\n<li>Your professional qualifications ensure a targeted and professional structure of our seminars for the rapid and efficient acquisition of intercultural competence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","country_priority":"4","loop_grid_priority":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/global-cultures.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/interkulturelle\/57137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/global-cultures.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/interkulturelle"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/global-cultures.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/interkulturelle"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global-cultures.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/global-cultures.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global-cultures.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global-cultures.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57137"},{"taxonomy":"kontinent","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/global-cultures.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kontinent?post=57137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
