Why take this course?
This course is intended primarily for non-native speakers of English who are starting to work internationally particularly with native speakers of English. It is also aimed at professionals who have recently moved into international roles but are struggling to perform as successfully as they have always done in their own culture and language.
It is a business language and intercultural awareness course combined. It covers not only the actual communication skills needed inside the international meeting but also the key interpersonal skills required around the meeting to introduce yourself and build rapport with new colleagues from other countries.
Each of the lectures is followed by a set of questions which check the topics explored in the videos but also help to explore some of them in more depth.
The author and instructor has been advising and training professionals working on an international level for quite a number of years mostly in western Europe and the lessons are based on his own experience and feedback from colleagues and clients.
The content aims to prepare you to be successful both as the leader and the participant of a meeting covering all of the most vulnerable issues of communication that may arise when teams of professionals from different cultures sit around the conference table with a common task.
