Language Coaching & Business Development
Our Mindset
Effective communication is essential in all types of relationships. This is even more important when you are using a language other than your native tongue.
In today's globalized market, many companies have adopted English as their official language of communication, regardless of whether a native English speaker is present or not.
What challenges do international business meetings present?
Different nationalities have very different expectations of what should happen during a business meeting.
For some, a meeting is not a place where real decisions are made. It is more of an open discussion of ideas and topics that are not on the agenda.
For others, the meeting should have a very strict agenda to complete decisions and action items within the allotted time.
Certain nationalities tend to expect the meeting to be led by a very strong leader who encourages participants to speak and exercises strict control.
Others view the meeting more as a situation where everyone can speak freely, and leadership is less obvious.
