Navigating Cultures:
The Intercultural Collaboration Workshop
Turn cultural differences into competitive advantages.
Based in Austria, I deliver customized Culture Map workshops for global teams throughout Europe and internationally.
Is Your Team Struggling with Cultural Differences?
Miscommunication
Emails and messages are misinterpreted. What seems direct to one person feels rude to another.
Missed Deadlines
Different cultural approaches to time and commitments create friction and delays.
Lack of Trust
Team members from different cultures struggle to build rapport and confidence in each other.
Ineffective Meetings
Virtual r in-person meetings feel unproductive when cultural communication styles clash.
If your team works across borders, whether managing international employees, collaborating with global colleagues, or navigating post-merger integration, cultural differences aren't just "nice to understand." They directly impact productivity, trust, and results.

What Makes This Workshop Different
This intercultural collaboration workshop uses Erin Meyer's evidence-based Culture Map framework, recognized globally as the leading cross-cultural communication training methodology.
​
Customized, Not Cookie-Cutter
No two workshops are the same. Every session is tailored to the specific cultures representated in your team. Whether you have colleagues from Austria, Canada, China, Brazil, or Kenya, we map YOUR team's cultural dynamics, not generic examples.
​
For cultures not directly featured in The Culture Map, I use carefully selected regional proxies combined with participants' lived experiences to ensure the framework remains both evidence-based and locally relevant.
​
Theory Meets Practice
This isn't a lecture. We explore cultural theory through Erin Meyer's proven framework, then examine what it looks like in YOUR real-world scenarios. Finally, we practice strategies you can implement immediately to address your specific challenges.
​

FAQ
Can this workshopbe delivered virtually?
Absolutely! The workshop is highly effective in virtual format or in-person.
​
What if our team includes cultures not featured in The Culture Map?
I use carefully selected regional proxies combined with participants' lived experiences to ensure the framework remains both evidence-based and personally relevant. This approach has proven effective for teams with members from Liberia, Congo, Albania, Georgia, and many other countries.
​
How far in advance should we book?
I recommend booking 3-4 weeks in advance to allow time for customization though I can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines. Contact me to discuss your specific dates.
​
Can we split a longer workshop across multiple sessions?
Yes! The Masterclass package works well as a two-session format (e.g., two half-days). We can discuss scheduling options that fit your team's calendar.
​
What's the minimum / maximum group size?
The workshop is optimized for groups of 5-20 participants. Smaller or larger groups can be accommodated. Contact me to discuss.
​
Do participants need to read The Culture Map beforehand?
Not required. The workshop is designed to be valuable whether participants are familiar with the book or encountering these concepts for the first time.
