Leadership Development

Leadership Development: Duration depends on project

Good leaders are always looking for ways to improve.  While some of this drive may originate from a desire to excel personally, most good leaders know that their actions affect many others, and it is their concern to assist others that drives them to personal development.  Leadership development varies from administering various style surveys and skills training to personal coaching live and via mediated conversations.  If you want to know the basics, brush up your skills, or take it to the next level, KerrComm can help develop your leadership skills to maximize your potential and raise your productivity and success.

Intercultural Communications

Intercultural Communications Training: 1-4 hours

Anthropologists Edward and Mildred Hall once said “…the single greatest barrier to business success is the one erected by culture."  Communications advancements are shrinking the world, and organizations are increasingly gaining international clientele and forging alliances with organizations in other countries.  Miscommunications due to cultural differences can result in months of delays and even losing deals and business.  Basic intercultural skills training can improve working, meeting, dealing, entertaining, negotiating and corresponding with colleagues or clients from other cultures, building trust and resulting in long-term mutually beneficial relationships.  Subjects covered may include:

  • What is culture?
