"Improving communication increases turnover"

Whether the borders are departmental, national or cultural - EXPERIENCE has the ingenious answer to putting bridges where they have never been considered possible.....

This " 2 for the price of 1" seminar leaves the company solving problems which were impossible to solve before this training. The synergy effect which is cleverly built into this course has been seen to work on many occasions over the last 10 years

>>> Communication Across Borders  

Invite any employee to a seminar designed to “improve communication skills” and certain barriers, prejudices; fixed notions are sometimes formed….

On the other hand ……

Ask any person who does not have English as their mother tongue if they would like to go away for a few days to improve their effectiveness in using the language in various business situations - they jump at the chance and attend with a more productive and willing mindset.

The trainers at Experience discovered many years ago that participants of fun, dynamic, business residential English language seminars where able to solve misunderstandings and real barriers back in the company which only became apparent as part of this specially designed training course.

During the learning experience known as “Communication Across Borders”, a group of people get together with one common aim – to improve their language skills. This provides the motivation for delegates to attend the 4-day residential seminar with a completely open mind. The type of facilitation however challenges the delegates on many deeper levels, bringing the following results.

CAB 1: Departmental

Inter-departmental communication barriers can create a powerful and destructive “ US vs. THEM” attitude.

In order to disrupt the eternal “blame-loop”, employees from different departments are invited to attend a language seminar together, where they:-

CAB 2 - Company

Thank God we're normal!

Why continue to suffer losses because of late deliveries, unreliable information and miscommunication?

Whether you are dealing with subsidiaries or business partners in other countries, you will often be puzzled by their seemingly absurd attitudes and procedures - until you understand the underlying cultural premises

Invite your foreign employees, subcontractors, partners etc. to a joint seminar with the employees from your company providing the communication link.

In the course of this seminar they will:

• get to know and appreciate each other
• develop an understanding for the issues at stake
• find new ways of communicating
• discover the sources of previous miscommunication
• act as a team facing a common challenge

CAB 3 - Intercultural

Language skills are the door… cross-cultural awareness is the key to the international market!

When dealing with many different cultures, it becomes impossible to have a deep understanding of each culture. What is needed is sensitivity, flexibility and a host of behavioural alternatives.

The globalisation of business requires more and more people to deal with people from various cultural backgrounds. It is not enough anymore to expect your business partners to adjust to your culture. Good interpersonal relations are vital to establish and maintain solid and profitable business contacts.

In this seminar, you will:

• Explore different "maps of the worlds"
• Understand the values that are at the basis of attitudes and behaviours
• Learn to appreciate the systemic functions of behaviours
• Develop verbal and non-verbal alternatives
• Enhance your communicative abilities
• Enjoy making new discoveries

CAB 4 - Assessment Centre = Successful Recruiting

Rather than gambling when facing important recruiting decisions, you have the chance to invite promising candidates together with long-term employees to a 3-day seminar to test their compatibility, and thus avoid time and money consuming mistakes.

At the same time, all participants benefit by improving their English language-skills and their communicative abilities.

In this seminar, you will:

• get to know candidates on a personal level
• exchange experiences
• discover candidates’ challenges and achievements
• improve communication flow
• face the common challenge of improving English language skills
• develop a team with one target
