SFBA Back To Business Network. Conference on cultural differences at work led by Lamya Alaoui CTO at CREDAS.
Dealing with cultural differences and language barriers presents many unique challenges that often leave people frustrated and confused. So how do you negotiate these differences and work effectively as a team?
The conference will cover the following topics:
Communication
- When it comes to communication, language barriers are only part of the challenge. For example, different styles of conversation can lead to poor communication, create conflict, and alienate people.
- What are the different styles of conversation, how do you recognize them and how to prevent communication conflicts?
Values
- Values influence the way people interact with each other, but they are also what motivates people and can differ widely depending on the country of origin.
- What role do values play in motivation and teamwork and how can you find common ground among people of different cultures?
