In my workshops you will learn about the peculiarities of the Indian mentality and how it affects business and working life.
The core topics of hierarchy, leadership, communication, time management and quality assurance are taught using a specially developed circular model that has been used successfully in international companies and universities for many years.
The training is interactive: information and application alternate. You work individually, in tandems and small groups on tasks and case studies.
In this way, you will learn to deal with cultural differences and capitalise on cultural similarities.
