Learn the importance of cultural awareness and pre-arrival prep for team members that travel abroad on business.
It may be a small world, but for the uninitiated, it's also one filled with opportunities to offend. To grasp the traditions of a culture different from one's own is to pave the path to trust, acceptance and, by extension, new business. Circumnavigate the globe, and gain insight and know-how for “doing as the locals do” in varied nations, while shedding light on how the experience of doing business abroad can teach volumes about our own ways and customs.
