NEW: CHINA BUSINESS LUNCHES and CHINA POLICY LUNCHES
In cooperation with Krijger & Partners, China Circle presents highly interactive lunch sessions on China's rise and its implications for international business and government, by Alex and Ardi, complemented by your choice of speaker: for example Ties Dams, Ed Kronenburg, Bei Wang or Valérie Hoeks. By the end of the lunch, you and your company will be better equipped for the Chinese Century.
Intercultural management
Our Intercultural Readiness Check-group-workshop provides all participants with a deep understanding of their individual intercultural sensitivity, intercultural communication, skills of building commitment and managing uncertainty. Before the workshop, all participants will be asked to fill out a scientifically tested questionnaire and they receive a personal 10-page feedback report. That provides a firm basis for dealing with questions such as: How to improve communication with your Dutch or Chinese counterpart? What is a consequence of personality and what of cultural differences?
The Diversity Icebreaker tool enables us to learn about personality and East-West cultural differences in a non-threatening environment. Fill out a short questionnaire, discover your preferences and the differences between ‘me’ and ‘you’ in a light-hearted and fun way. The Diversity Icebreaker is also an excellent tool for an in-company training session, cementing ties in your Chinese/Dutch team, as it makes people reflect, ask, listen and talk to each other.
We also offer Personal Coaching on the basis of your IRC, especially aimed at managers and team members of Dutch companies operating in China and vice versa. We will deal with questions such as: How to cope with diversity in your team? How to lead your team when one colleague is un-cooperative? How to perform well, if your boss seems to ignore you? How to make your partner feel at home in The Netherlands or China, too?
A standard workshop is 3 hours.
For larger groups we work with 2 facilitators.
Of course, our workshops and training sessions can be tailored to your specific needs. Prices will be adjusted, depending on extra preparation and development time. All workshops are suitable for diverse groups and teams: Dutch and Chinese, Asian and European or any other East-West mix.
We prefer small workshop groups, with a minimum of 6 and maximum of 16 participants.
Coaching is individual, unless you request group coaching.
We usually work with two facilitators, one from Europe and one from Asia.
