Doing Business With English-Speaking Countries

Doing Business With Another English-Speaking Country; Pitfalls & Solutions

PART ONE: the U.S. and the U.K.

People do what they consider right (values), based on what they believe is true (beliefs), using familiar actions (behavior and communication style) and thought processes (norms and assumptions), having the best intensions to get the best outcome they think they can get, yet they fail, because they only look at what they see and hear and how others behave and communicate. 

For successful intercultural communication, we need to look at the why beyond the what and how, explore what we encounter from different perspectives, and learn to stretch our comfort zone even in situations when we least expect miscommunication and misunderstanding.

Join the World Trade Center Palm Beach for our next webinar in the International Business, Global Markets, and Intercultural Communication series featuring Renata Urban, founder of URBAN Training and Services and acclaimed Intercultural Coach, Communication Skills Trainer, and Language Teacher. 

Renata helps her clients communicate successfully in their own language, in a foreign language, and across cultures, and she supports diverse and virtual teams turn their cognitive diversity into an asset and collaborate effectively. Having lived and worked in both the US and the UK, Renata will speak from her own experience about the two countries divided by a common language, unsuccessful business ventures and failed expat assignments and how to prevent them, differences in language and culture, and how to build intercultural competence for successfully doing business in an international environment.
