Cultural & Diversity Training

SIMON & SIMON works exclusively with the international training consultancy, CultureSmart! Consulting, to deliver its wide range of international communication skills courses. With the global trend toward multi-national management structures, companies are becoming increasingly aware that if their global business objectives are to be achieved, a growing number of their employees need to be more familiar with the communication styles and cultures of their clients and colleagues from around the world. A selection of our current courses are outlined below:

You work with colleagues and clients from many different countries and backgrounds. Do they interpret what you say accurately? How can you communicate, share ideas, solve problems, make decisions and handle conflict with one another more effectively?

Our Approach:

After conducting a detailed needs analysis with each delegate prior to a seminar, an interactive and dynamic approach is adopted, including separate break out sessions and comprehensive feedback. All of our country consultants are ex-patriates who have recently lived and worked in the target country or city, and seminars can be followed up by an ongoing email mentoring programme to ensure the learning is consolidated.
