Intercultural Training Great Britain: A Brolly, Some Small-Talk and a Good Sense of Humour – Business training for Project Leaders, Specialists and Managers

What is important to do business successfully in the UK? Even after BREXIT, UK-German trade relations will continue.

Germany and the UK not only share common interests in tackling climate change, but also have a strong bilateral relationship in many other areas. In order to successfully address the still numerous challenges such as the climate crisis, pandemic, digitalisation, etc., and for trade and investment to flow as smoothly as possible across the Channel, we need a solid UK-German relationship.

What influence does the British mentality have on intercultural cooperation? What makes the British so “British” and why are they so different? Caution. Don’t be fooled by assumed external similarities and geographical proximity. Our intercultural training will give you an impression of the country’s cultural, political, historical and economic background and help you to understand British attitudes to life and behaviour – both in business and in personal relationships.
