Europe is a special place with very different cultures under and outside of the European Union (EU) umbrella. Although international Europeans often use English, their cultural values and business practices are very different. This Europe Business Culture Training provides the insight and bridging techniques to create opportunities and relationships for success.

This is a business leadership workshop designed to help you understand Europeans. From Spain to the UK, and Sweden to Switzerland, we’ll cover key values and business practices of the countries that you deal with. We skip the boring lectures, and instead share practical  models, then use examples, videos, or case study exercises for true learning and strategic insight. You’ll explore your own culture and learn best practices to help you lead and adapt while retaining your authentic self. These aren’t just soft skills, they are practical tools for international business.

IMPORTANT: This is custom training, designed around the countries that you are most interested in.  Our facilitator currently lives in Switzerland, France, and Spain, and is married to an English man.  She has a masters in Cross Cultural Communication and over 20 years experience with DuPont working in the Europe, the US and globally. (See more details on your trainer below.)
