Cross-Cultural Programs

Living and working in a different country can be a challenging, exhilarating experience—but also a difficult endeavor in many ways. COUNTERPOINT offers individually-tailored programs to help the client adjust and cope successfully with life in the new country.

Counterpoint offers:

  • Individual and group cross-cultural training seminars, which include background instruction on host countries
  • Training for executives and families living and working in a different country
  • Customized programs for individual executives and business groups on how to conduct business abroad, with emphasis on negotiations, marketing, and sales techniques
  • Programs designed to help returning executives and their families re-adjust to life in their home countries after an overseas assignment

 

CROSS-CULTURAL Training Programs are complete packages for effective coping before, during, and after arrival.

For American employees moving overseas:

  • Checklist for moving abroad
  • Up-to-date background information and documentation on host country
  • Tips and insights on living abroad
  • World-language training by specialists
  • Business practices and management styles

For employees from abroad coming to live and work in the United States:
  • English-language training, from basic to advanced communication skills
  • Learning about the United States—people, business and social etiquette, customs, history
  • Programs for spouses and children

 

COUNTERPOINT’s cross-cultural training, coupled with language instruction where needed, will alleviate much of the stress and anxiety associated with moving overseas. Appropriate attention will be given to the basics of the host country, including values, norms, and everyday customs, but much more is involved in a good training program. Cross-cultural training helps develop cultural sensitivity and conflict-resolution skills for life in the new culture. Training for spouses and children, where appropriate, will help the family develop realistic expectations, resulting in fewer early returns.
