Seminar Content:
This 2-day seminar helps Western business people recognize the hidden cultural obstacles and understand Africans better. It will also help you to communicate successfully, learn to work together and build solid partnerships. What are the key point to note in dealing with African Countries?
Consider the following example:You just got a new assignment from your company. Your mission is to manage the local subsidiary in one of the emerging African cities. This Assignment will last some years and you have the option to renew and to move to another African country. Of course, you have already planned that your family will be following later. You and your family have compared and weighed all the risks and chances before taking this decision. Shortly after the relocation you and each member of the family experience real stress: isolation, different working environment, adjustment difficulties, culture shock, homesickness, fear of the foreign culture, loneliness, and mental stress that put your performance and success of the assignment in doubt!
