Cross cultural skill building

Nomadic provides short and intensive training programmes aimed at increasing cross-cultural competencies and awareness.

Our approach is to equip our clients with the tools to manage effectively in any culture, rather than simply offering a list of culture-specific ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’.

Like our coaching, Nomadic training methods are as varied as our clients’ needs. What our methods share is a solid research base, a practical, experiential and highly interactive flavour and unerring focus upon results. Individually gauging participants’ competencies through assessment tools and simulation activities, we seek to create learning in its fullest sense - by engaging with the hearts, minds and physical energy of our customers.

Nomadic cross cultural training is designed for maximum flexibility. All programmes are fully customised to fit the business environment of the client organisations. Many clients choose to integrate shorter training modules into longer programmes for specialist learning groups.

The trainer’s excellent group facilitation and feedback-giving techniques are admirable. (IT consultancy Finland).

The workshop was very positive and it helped me a lot. (Defense and Space organization, Europe).

They did a good job in involving the class in discussion. The program was interactive and the time flew by. It was training but didn’t feel like it.

Both facilitators were extremely well prepared and organised in presenting the topic in an effective manner.

I liked the evident experience and enthusiasm in presenting.

Practical things that would help me in my career and personal life.

They were able to keep the class engaged for the entire day by varying the delivery method.

They seem to have a lot of real-life practical experience in dealing with cross-cultural issues so they relate it to real life.
