About the Workshop: Practical Tools for Cross-Cultural Success

Our “Success in Cross-Cultural Teams” workshop, based on research on cross-cultural dynamics, combines cultural insights with actionable strategies.

Each participant receives a personalized profile, showing how their background aligns with both their own culture and the host culture they work within. This personalized approach helps team members navigate cultural differences with empathy and confidence.

The workshop was well-structured, with great examples from both global contexts and personal experiences. Participants were actively engaged—often getting up from their seats—and key messages were reinforced effectively.

How Psychological Safety Drives Success in Multicultural Teams

In this workshop, we show teams how to build psychological safety, fostering collaboration, innovation, and resilience in cross-cultural environments. With practical exercises, we teach teams to create an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are valued.

Research by Harvard professor Amy Edmondson has shown that psychological safety is the foundation of high-performing teams, especially in diverse settings. When team members feel safe to voice their ideas without fear of judgment, they bring their best to the table.
