Do you experience frustrations when you do business across cultures or manage cross-cultural teams?
If your answer is ‘yes’, InterMondo can help you become more effective by developing strategies to adjust your cultural behaviours.
InterMondo’s ‘5 Steps to Global Dexterity’ Program
If you manage cross-cultural teams or your business is expanding globally, you know cultural effectiveness is key to your success.
But without strategies for overcoming frustrations and anxieties you experience when communicating across cultures, you risk falling into cultural traps that can lose you time, money, clients…even your business.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the workshops delivered – face to face, online or both?

Do I need to prepare for the workshop?
When you register for the workshop, you will receive a link to access and complete the InterMondo online survey ‘How culturally dexterous are you in international settings?’ You will receive a copy of your individual results.
