provides the awareness and understanding you need to decrease cultural friction and accomplish your goals.
4 Reasons Intercultural Training Is Helpful
It's hard to play a game when you don't know the rules.
Together, we navigate the unspoken logic of French culture and what they can look like in real life.
Things start making sense - from the way people act to administrative processes.
Even if you've been in the game for a while.
Maybe you've been living or working in a French context for some time - married to a French person, working with French colleagues. Maybe you speak some French. Your previous exposure will make a closer, conscious examination of your experience that much more relevant - you've got the stories and real-life examples! - for additional clarity and better results.
Fast-track your cultural navigational skills
Trial and error can be long, inefficient, and painful. Fortunately, there's a better way - intercultural training.
Understand the theory. See real-life examples. Practice potential situations. Try your skills in the real world. And keep increasing your understanding.
So that you can learn to nagivate foreign waters faster.
Increase cultural serenity
Understanding the world around you can lower anxiety: you can familiarize yourself with what is happening and why.
With time, it becomes part of the decor, easier to accept and navigate. Intercultural training favors more enriching experiences with others.
