One to One Training

1-2-1 Business Consultancy/Coaching For Executives

Background

We provide consultancy and coaching support for executives who are either unaware or aware of the multiple cultural issues they are confronted with, but who lack the skills to address these challenges within tight deadlines. The consultant works in partnership with the executives to support and guide actions tailored to the local markets. Sessions address two main areas in the host market:

1. communication issues
2. suitability and attractiveness of product/service features

The consultant identifies communication roadblocks or culturally mismatching service features and recommends pragmatic solutions to his/her clients. At the same time, the business findings are applied to coach the client towards effective responses to target countries and nurture new communication skills. After 3 to 6 days, executives operate independently and successfully in the target market. This consultant and executive combined effort reduces considerably time to achieve results, therefore, contributing markedly to return on investment.
