CQ Trainer - Cross-Cultural coaching

Dealing with people from a total different cultural background can really give you misunderstanding, big time. No matter how hard you try, they just don't seem to get the point. The cause is often 'cultural bias'. In 'cultural' I refer to local nurtured groupbehavior. In general you can say: how bigger the difference in background, the bigger the bias.

Cultural bias interferes when the person on the other side of your table thinks of something else as being ‘normal’ than you do.

Cultural bias will spend a lot of time and energy in collaboration and performance. Especially when both parties stick to their own 'normal'. While at the same time cultural diversity within teams can provide an enormous impulse to become flexible and versatile. Most important is to have understanding for each other’s point of view: why we do the thing we do. As CQ Trainer I help companies and organizations to recognize cultural differences and change them from obstacles into opportunities. It is truly the chance to make a difference!

Its not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent one. Its the one that is most adaptable to change.

You recall these expressions?

"They just dont seem to get it although I was very clear"
"He doesnt deliver what I asked him to do."
"If I give them feedback they always feel offended."
"Ah, never mind. I dont want to discriminate."
"I dont get it. That she doesnt realize this outfit is really inappropriate for working here."
"Why doesnt she look at me when we have a conversation?"
"Every time the same thing: They say yes but do no."

You are probably dealing with cultural bias. But the increasing globalisation companies & organizations have to deal with this more & more. But there is good news because we can solve it too easily.

Cross cultural relations need social engineering. Good intentions are not good enough.
