WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
The demand for training, coaching and facilitation that supports working effectively with Indians is increasing in response to the growth of business in and with India. Much about India is changing rapidly, much is staying the same. This dynamic workshop explores how the intercultural trainer, coach or facilitator can rise to the challenge of this richly multi-layered context. We will explore Indian cultural attributes and how they play out in business, deepening our understanding so as to better support our clients in developing strategies for success. The interactive nature of the course will allow for response to participants’ specific interests. The workshop is suitable for anyone who is interested in contemporary India.
