COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY ACROSS CULTURESFEE: $30
In our American
melting pot, it is common to work and communicate with people
from many different cultures. Plus, in today's global economy,
many of us interact on a daily basis with people all over the
world. Whether written or spoken, messages can become blurred
or misunderstood because of cultural differences. Simply assuming
that what is “proper” in one culture will translate
the same way to another culture can cause major communication
problems. In this interactive session, we'll explore some easy
ways to bridge the cultural gap and sharpen your communication
skills. Fee includes continental breakfast and program materials.
