More about our intercultural seminars
What our satisfied customers say
The workshop considerably broadens our understanding of different cultures.The many practical exercises combined with discussions and short theoretical sections help us to internalise the topic and learn to act respectfully in a global environment. The trainer attaches great importance to an open atmosphere – we had a lot of fun!
The intercultural training was a complete success! In a company where teamwork is very important, this gave the employees important impulses and approaches to take internal communication to another level. Anna Weidlich prepared and orientated herself ideally to the employees and their field of activity.
In a one-day workshop, Interkult Training gave us a very good basis for how we can work even better with our international customers. The practical examples helped us to apply what we had learnt in everyday life and improve our customer communication.
The mixture of practice and theory in the workshop was very varied and clear. Our trainer also responded to our questions during the workshop and the atmosphere was open and motivating. We can highly recommend the intercultural training.
The trainer created an open atmosphere in which the participants immediately felt at ease. What I particularly liked was the balance between theoretical knowledge and practical exercises. I can recommend this training to anyone who wants to be successful in a global world and has to deal with people from different cultures.
The workshop at InterKult was not only a lot of fun for me personally, but also opened up new perspectives for me on many levels. The knowledge was very well prepared and I particularly liked the mixture of theory and practice. Anna Weidlich is an excellent trainer who passes on her knowledge with a lot of passion.
Professional expertise meets a pleasant personality. Ms. Weidlich has understood how to make the seminar not only exciting, but also scientifically sound and remarkably empathetic. Although some participants already had previous knowledge in the field of intercultural communication, the added value was also noticeable for them. At the end of the day, all participants agreed that they would be able to implement a number of things from the seminar in their work and that the day had more than paid off.
At ExoMatter, we have a very intercultural team. We see this as a great strength that we would like to leverage even more, especially in light of our planned international expansion. The training provided by InterKult has helped us greatly by highlighting the strengths of our team and giving us concrete strategies for leveraging them even more effectively. We were very satisfied with Anna Weidlich’s positive and motivating course leadership.
