Cross Cultural Communication

The PD Training Cross Cultural Communication training course will improve your staff's ability to both understand and communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds.

This half day interactive professional development course covers understanding your own cultural drivers; the ability to compare people from different cultural backgrounds and how this impacts communication and behaviour; and, the skills to develop cultural competence.

In your Training Management Centre you have transparency to the action plans so you can see what people are going to do differently.

Want to get clear on impacts and measure success? We support you.

Our systems and people make it easy to identify how you’ll be able to measure impacts and then report on the success in the weeks or months after training.
