Cross-cultural consultant - I help individuals, teams and organisations remove their international communication challenges.
What the heck is an International Business Communicator anyway?!
Basically, I help you to achieve your business goals through cross-cultural or intercultural communications consulting, training, facilitation or coaching.
For example:
# TEAM BUILDING / RESCUING - if your team is a multicultural one, I can help build the team or firefight if communication has broken down.
# DO MORE BUSINESS INTERNATIONALLY - if you are going to do business abroad, my associates and I can help you understand the best way to go about it. You might be moving into a new market (e.g. from mainland Europe to the UK or vice versa) and are looking to win new clients. We can help you define your key messages and then coach your team to deliver a strong customer-specific pitch that will win you new business.
# DO MORE BUSINESS IN THE UK - likewise, if you are not from the UK and are going to live and/or do business in the UK, we can advise you how best to negotiate, market and present your products and services
# CONSIDERING A(N) (INTERNATIONAL) MERGER OR ACQUISITION - if you focus only on the financial and technical aspects of a merger or acquisition, you are making a BIG mistake. 80% of M&As fail and 50% fail to deliver the promised shareholder value - a major contributory factor is failing to consider the cultural dimension. Here's where we can help.
# CONSIDERING A(N) (INTERNATIONAL) JOINT VENTURE - similarly, many joint ventures collapse in acrimony because they do not put communication strategies in place at the beginning to help them when things inevitably become tough nor do they leverage organisational or national cultural differences successfully. This is an area we excel in.
# INTERNATIONAL SALES PRESENTATIONS - perhaps you're a one-person band, a consultant, coach or web designer, but someone not used to standing up in front of international audiences and telling people about / selling your services / products. Or perhaps you're having to sell in to the UK. I've helped hundreds of people to get past their fears, become more confident in front of clients and increase their revenues - doing so internationally is my speciality.
I feel it's a good forum for people who don't know much about networking and/or don't do much else - for myself I found it a replication of quite a few things I've been doing for a long time - in BNI, IIB, BS, and BICs... so I doubt I'll go again - looking forward to seeing you soon - have fun in the meantime - Nicole x
