Prepare yourself to better live and cooperate in a new culture
Congratulations, you’ve been seconded. This could mean a lot for your career but it will certainly mean a lot for your perception of the world. You’ve just stepped into another realm. You may need to learn a language, get savvy on local customs, and figure out how to suggest something without any party losing “face”. But let’s face it, that’s all tough to do. You need to be mentally in shape to make the transition smooth and make the most of your experience.
We can help you evaluate how culture fit you are: How does your value system gel with the locals’? What might you need to question about your own culture in order to understand theirs? How can you manage this team of people when you share so little, and how do you share the right elements to win over their confidence?
Specifically, our culture fit assessment will give you a clear picture of your cultural awareness, your knowledge of the difference between your and the destination values, and your ability to make the necessary adaptations to thrive in your new environment. To help you get culture fit, we offer culture fit training and individual intercultural coaching based on our evaluation, so it’s specific to your situation.
