What Happens in Cross-Cultural Training?

A cross-cultural training is a seminar that imparts "cross-cultural competence" as a key qualification. Participants learn how to interact in a new cultural environment and develop strategies and attitudes for a successful stay abroad.

The seminars are complemented by the personal experiences of our coaches, forming the foundation for a smooth stay abroad and the achievement of your employees' personal goals.

Cross-cultural trainings focus less on so-called "hard skills" like learning a new language, and more on the development of important "soft skills":

What Are Soft Skills?

Cross-cultural trainings focus particularly on the development of important soft skills:

Communication: The ability to communicate effectively is one of the most important skills. Communication is the transmission of information with the goal of improving mutual understanding.
Self-Motivation: This is also a key qualification. In a new international environment, you often have to leave your comfort zone and constantly motivate yourself to discover new things and benefit from them despite uncertainties.
Leadership Skills: Your employees may have proven their leadership skills in the German work environment. But how will they perform abroad? Can they adapt and lead their team effectively in a new cultural context?
Teamwork: In the context of an expatriate assignment, teamwork means navigating challenging situations in groups with an international background and collaborating effectively.
Problem-Solving Skills: Upon arrival in a foreign country, a series of problems may initially arise. Therefore, it is important to develop strong problem-solving skills and quickly find your way in the new environment.
Stress Management and Time Management:Participants in our seminars learn to better cope with pressure and improve their time management skills to successfully overcome the challenges of living abroad.

What Are the Key Training Objectives?

Due to increasing globalization, cross-cultural communication has taken on a central role in the modern business world. The main goal of cross-cultural communication is to improve the understanding of so-called "communication phenomena." Science offers three different perspectives on this:

The Cognitive Dimension: This dimension refers to the explicit knowledge someone has about other cultures, their own cultural values, and those of other cultures, as well as knowledge of intercultural theories.
The Affective Level: This level describes the emotional state of people engaging in cross-cultural communication. It includes the emotional stability needed when dealing with other cultures and the mental attitude toward different cultures.
The Behavioral Level: This level combines the first two levels: The knowledge acquired at the cognitive and affective levels is applied to real intercultural scenarios, leading to appropriate behavior and ultimately to achieving personal communication goals.

Testimonials from Participants and Clients:​

That was an intercultural training that went far beyond the usual tips! Perfect! No question was left unanswered.

Participant

The intercultural videos from the crossculture academy are very helpful for an initial introduction. They made me aware of things I hadn't focused on before.

Participant

I wondered what more I could learn that I hadn't already picked up in my 20 years of traveling to Germany. How wrong I was! During the full-day training, it was never boring, and I received so much valuable information that I will remember.

Participant

For me, what made it one of the best intercultural seminars was the tailoring of the content to my requirements.

Participant

One should not underestimate how different it really is on the other side of the world. Intercultural training and coaching prepare you for this in the best possible way.

Participant

With the crossculture academy, you also have a flexible platform at your side that provides you with intercultural tips and that you can access anytime if you have questions.
