Method

When should an intercultural intelligence training be planned?

When preparing for international meetings; whenever a personal or professional encounter is unsatisfactory or ends up in any sort of misunderstanding that bothers you; or when starting a new position that involves intercultural environments.

What is the training like?

The training is interactive, dynamic, and fun.

Even complex knowhow must be transmitted clearly, so that it may be easily understood and assimilated by the participants.

Each day of training is unique as participants contribute by bringing their life experiences.

Our methodology includes a number of stages:

• A pre-training phone conversation to:
  • better know and understand your pain points
  • talk about the type of short session you would be interested in.
• A brief individual assignment
  Participants write a 3-paragraph text describing their problem situation. During the pre-training phone conversation, you receive various questions designed to guide you in the writing of these 3 paragraphs.
• The Intercultural Intelligence training workshop, during which:
  • participants assimilate and integrate the acquired knowledge in an interactive and dynamic way:
    • we understand,
    • we learn,
    • we practice.
  • Participants practice by using a protocol of questions. These questions become a new life habit. The PROFICQ (Protocol for Intercultural Questioning) is a list of key-questions that enhances pluricultural and pluriprofessional exchanges.
  • Participants then receive the attestation, validating the completion of the training.
• Post-training follow-up and feedback

The method encompasses: a brief case assessment, a questionnaire and description, the interactive training, the questioning protocol, and the training's conclusion that validates your achievements. After the training, we remain in contact for follow-up and feedback.

Is one workshop sufficient?

You are autonomous as of the first workshop. You are operational at the end of this training.

However, the first workshop may be followed by a next step - Intercultural Intelligence brain training. This higher-level training will naturally increase performance.

Is it coaching, training, or counseling?

A 1-day workshop at the Institute for Intercultural Intelligence Training suffices to build autonomous participants. This, therefore, makes us different from coaching.

For a longer follow-up we provide consulting services based on our i5bridging model – Intercultural Intelligence for Institutions, Industrialists and Individuals.
