Join us in 20th January 2021 for this hour-long webinar and learn about How to Give and Receive Feedback in Different Cultures with intercultural coach and trainer Eva Tarabichi.
When we work in international teams or projects or manage someone who is not from the same cultural background, something as simple as giving feedback or gaining their input can feel almost impossible. Suddenly, the rules we have learned about giving constructive criticism and involving everybody equally don’t seem to apply anymore. It can feel terribly frustrating to work with project partners that promise action but don’t follow up on it. Or to have given feedback to someone in the most considerate way possible but suddenly see them disengage. Some people might seem like they just didn’t get the message you wanted to send them.
In most of these cases, different ways to communicate, different styles to present feedback and criticism as well as different preferences for hierarchy or more egalitarian processes are at the root of such problems. By learning about these differences and processes to overcome them, you will be able to get your project out of stalemate, involve everyone as you would wish and communicate your messages so that they get heard.
What you will learn:
- Getting to know the different types of communicators, the different ways to formulate feedback around the world, the different degrees of feeling allowed to contribute to discussions/giving one’s opinion.
- Exemplary processes to get an international project out of stalemate situations (or to avoid ending up in stalemate)
How you will benefit:
- How to get input from project stakeholders or team members that are not direct communicators?
- How to adapt feedback so that it remains constructive and is understood by someone from another culture?
- The need for special processes to be put in place in order to ensure everyone is on board
Who should attend?
International professionals: e.g. members/managers of teams with multiple nationalities; members/managers of virtually working global teams; HR managers with international staff; international project leaders; professionals working with international client
