Build one, unified team

Are you looking to transform your multinational team into a cohesive and high-performing unit?

Our Teamwork Without Borders is designed specifically for leaders of distributed teams, and organizations eager to enhance their global collaboration skills.

Dive deep into the unique cultural dynamics that influence teamwork and gain actionable insights to foster a more inclusive workplace.  Overcome the natural (and often hidden) barriers that block groups from operating as one team with a shared goal.

What You Will Learn

Our workshop delves into eight essential dimensions that can either empower or hinder your global team:

1. High Context vs. Low Context Communication: You'll learn how to identify and adapt to different communication styles. High-context cultures rely heavily on non-verbal cues and the surrounding context, while low-context cultures prefer direct and explicit messages. Understanding this can prevent miscommunications and foster clearer interactions.
2. Direct or Indirect Negative Feedback: Navigating feedback can be tricky across cultures. This section will explore how some cultures value forthright criticism, while others prefer a more subtle approach. You'll develop skills to deliver and receive feedback in a way that is respectful and effective for your teammates.
3. Leading Styles: Consensual vs. Top-Down Decision-Making: Discover the nuances of different leadership styles. This part of the workshop will help you identify your own natural tendencies and how to adjust them to accommodate team members who may expect a more collective or hierarchical approach to decision-making.
4. Confrontational vs. Non-Confrontational Approaches: Conflict is inevitable, but how we handle it varies widely. You’ll learn strategies for managing disagreements constructively, regardless of cultural background and preferences, fostering an environment where individuals feel safe to express concerns.
5. Trust Building: Task-Based vs. Relationship-Based: Explore how trust is built differently across cultures. Some cultures prioritize completing tasks to build trust, while others focus on developing personal relationships. This understanding will enable you to engage with your team in ways that resonate with their expectations.
6. Time Management: Linear vs. Flexible Scheduling: Cultures perceive time differently—some see it as a linear process with strict deadlines, while others adopt a more flexible approach. You’ll gain insights on how to navigate these differences to enhance scheduling and project timelines effectively.
7. Effective Persuasion Techniques: Understanding how to persuade effectively can differ significantly across cultures. You’ll learn about principles-first versus practices-first approaches to persuasion and how to tailor your techniques to align with your team's cultural context.
8. Contextual Real-World Scenarios: Beyond theory, we will engage in role-playing and case studies based on real-world scenarios. This hands-on experience will allow you to practice and reinforce your skills in a supportive environment, preparing you for actual team interactions.

By the end of the workshop, not only will you have a richer understanding of these eight dimensions, but you'll also feel more equipped to implement strategies that boost your team's performance, cohesion, and satisfaction. Together, we can transform cultural diversity into an unstoppable advantage!
