Consulting and Counseling

 

 
 

No matter if you are in a business meeting, in negotiations, part of a joint venture or just face-to-face with someone from another culture, you gain a competitive advantage from having strategies to deal with the cultural differences you will encounter. We offer counseling, consulting and training courses to support our clients in difficult cross-cultural situations and to enable them for a successful conflict resolution.

Integration and Adaptation

The stay in a foreign country for many of us is basically coordinated and arranged by other people. Focus is often only given to relocation and logistics. Once the expatriates arrive at their new homes they are confronted with a different reality. Questions such as selecting the right school, finding a professional hospital or dealing with workmen or the maid must be answered. While one partner usually must cope with the challenges at the workplace, the other must find a way to establish a new and meaningful life in a foreign place. We help you to find the right answers suitable for your lifestyle and interests.

 

Business Ethics

Corporations are composed of cultures. Take a good close look at your culture. What are the norms of behavior? What is valued? Are employees rewarded for succeeding at any cost or are they urged to be shepherds of the corporations reputation as well as its assets? What pressures do they face to commit misconduct? What systemic problems exist that could encourage good people to make bad decisions? Consider conducting a formal assessment of your corporate culture from the perspective of attitudes, perceptions, values, standards of conduct, pressures to commit misconduct, communications, risks and vulnerabilities. Pay particular attention to your corporate values and how well they have been internalized by your Board, senior leadership, employees at all levels and key stakeholders.

 

Success in cross-cultural Management

Management style and methods too often result in conflicts when it comes to merge Asian and Western business practices. Cross-cultural management skills help to bridge the gap and lead to a more productive and successful management in a global and intercultural environment. We address cultural, regional and relevant business matters important for any manager involved in international business.

 

Marriage Counseling

Living in a foreign country or in an intercultural marriage can be very stressful for a relationship. Language barriers, isolation, misunderstanding and failure are common problems. A better understanding of the foreign culture, society and its people can help to establish yourself, integrate and resolve common problems in a positive and constructive way. Solving marriage problems also is an essential condition for a successful business performance.
