Building Trust with Global and Cross-Cultural Clients January 10, 2013

All consultants must constantly work to build and maintain trust in every situation. However, when working with a new international client or a client from a different cultural background than your own, trust can be the easiest thing to lose. We must be aware of key differences that could jeopardize the business relationship prematurely. How can we share our services in ways that build trust in our competence and integrity?

Please join us for our January dinner meeting with international business consultant Marian Stetson-Rodriguez of Charis Intercultural Training Corporation. Through real-time examples, Marian will help you shape your approach to contracting with international clients. You'll take a brief "International Consulting Readiness" assessment to identify potential blind spots and areas for development. Gain new insights into the role of trust in cross-cultural interactions, how to build it, and the keys that can lead to multi-year projects. Examples for consulting in high-opportunity countries, including China, Germany, India and Saudi Arabia will be shared by our speaker, plus discuss experiences and best practices with fellow PATCA members.
