    Keynote Sample: The Culture Map: Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business

    As today’s business world becomes ever-more global and virtual, executives and managers are expected to work harmoniously together with counterparts from a broad array of cultures and backgrounds, often without leaving their desks. But when you throw people together who come from starkly different backgrounds and cultures, the result can be interesting, even sometimes funny, but can also lead to misunderstanding and confusion.

    In this talk, Erin Meyer offers a highly practical and timely perspective on one of today’s most pressing business issues: how do different cultures influence the way to do business when working globally? Even those who are culturally informed, travel extensively and have lived abroad often have few strategies for dealing with the cross-cultural complexity that affects their team’s day-to-day effectiveness.

    Meyer provides a new way forward with vital insights for working effectively and sensitively with one’s counterparts in the new global marketplace. This talk will help you build a more cohesive and successful team: one that will work together to bridge gaps, transform differences into assets, and ultimately grow your business.

    You will learn:
    • To improve your own ability to communicate, give feedback, and negotiate deals with those from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds.
    • To be more tolerant, informed, and aware of a variety of diverse cultural approaches when leading projects that span the globe.
    • To analyze the positioning of one culture relative to another on a series of behavioural scales, so that you can decode how culture is influencing your international collaboration.

    • “Whether you are sitting at a desk in Boston or eating at a restaurant in Beijing, communicating across cultures is the great challenge of the global economy. Getting it right will be the the difference between success and failure. Erin Meyer shows you how to get it right.”
