Intercultural Training

Aim of my workshop trainings:

1) Awareness To understand the importance of being culturally aware and to open participant's minds.
2) Reflection To reflect on your own culture: national, regional and individual.
3) Strategy To provide you with a strategy to navigate through the target culture successfully.

How will I deliver these aims?

As part of my day-long or 2-day workshops I will cover a wide range of topics:
 

• Module 1 What is culture? How do we define culture? How should we think about culture?
• Module 2 What the academic experts say: Theoretical models and concepts
• Module 3 Gauging participants knowledge of target culture and separating truth/myth from stereotypes

At the end of the workshop you will have a better understanding of intercultural awareness, be more interculturally competent and have the confidence to navigate through your target culture.

Business English Training

What I guarantee:
1) confidence building regarding your English
2) development of your strengths and weaknesses
3) fun while learning

My main focus:
Communication and fluency

Communication and fluency are the most important aspects of English learning today. That is why I mainly centre my trainings around speaking and vocabulary building.

I like to create an atmosphere of openness and interaction where everyone can participate and contribute. I create this atmosphere through encouraging conversation, debate and speaking in general. This adds the most value for the participants, thereby producing the best long-term results i.e. motivation and confidence in conversation.

No matter what job, industry or hierarchical level you are in, I customize my trainings around your individual needs to maximize the benefit for your work lives.

When students have the motivation to learn they will progress with confidence and speed. I try and instill this motivation in my students to maximize their learning throughout the course.
