When in Poland, do as the Poles do! Since 1997, we have been helping foreign managers succeed in the Polish market. Knowing Polish betters relations with clients, partners, and the Polish staff. Speaking Polish and awareness of cultural differences makes life more comfortable, eliminates cultural shock and helps break stereotypes and cross barriers.
Intercultural Communication
Effective communication is based on values, and knowledge of
traditions, customs, social beliefs and behavior
Working in an multicultural environment has become a new style of living for the majority of professionals assigned to corporate and public organizations operating on a global scale. Interaction with people from different cultures is now an everyday occurrence and a big challenge for the participants of a global team or for business people working with international clients, colleagues or suppliers.
- For business people, the challenge is to manage diversity and change at the same time.
- The success of the outcome depends on how well managers of different nationalities and backgrounds work together through partnership across cultural borders.
- It involves an understanding of why people behave in a particular way, and may be different from what you expect.
Research and practice have proved that providing cultural training to employees who are tasked with working in an international environment can significantly reduce the risks of cultural shock. A cultural awareness program helps to avoid misunderstandings and confusion during interactions with foreign partners - from an embarrassing moment to a breakdown in inter-company communication to a lost deal or agreement.
- Being new in Poland, do you want to avoid being confused?
- Do you wish to work together in partnership with Poles?
- Do you want your business to be more successful than your competitors?
We can help by introducing you or your staff to the Polish lifestyle
and we provide a cross cultural session:

an introduction to Poland's unique history and culture, which has shaped the specific personality of the country and its people.
This analysis of cultural values and behavior prevalent in Poland will help you in developing strategies for working more effectively and establishing successful business relationships with Polish counterparts.
