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.

Frequently asked questions about intercultural training for Singapore:

What is intercultural training for Singapore?

Intercultural training is a type of seminar or workshop that aims to develop intercultural skills and prepare people for interacting with people from other cultures. For Singapore, we offer intercultural training to prepare employees for the challenges of a globalized world. The formats of these offerings range from face-to-face training to online training to combined, hybrid training approaches.

Who would benefit from intercultural training for Singapore?

Whether you are a teacher or waiter, sales representative or civil servant, marketing specialist or engineer – in today’s highly globalized world, anyone who deals with people from other cultures or subcultures benefits from intercultural training or coaching.

Awareness of the differences between one’s own culture and other cultures effectively improves cultural sensitivity and the ability to adapt and work with colleagues abroad or in diverse teams in one’s own country.

They combine their international professional experience with in-depth expertise, bringing cultural differences to life and making them easy to understand. With academic degrees in communication, our trainers deliver content in a practical, lively, and highly professional manner.

What is the structure of intercultural training for Singapore?

We do not focus exclusively on cultural and communication science topics, but place great emphasis on practical exercises that improve intercultural skills. Topics include: historical aspects of Singapore, relevant communication principles for Singapore, intercultural business situations, negotiations, and business etiquette.

What should expats bear in mind when moving to Singapore?

I am going to relocate from Germany to Singapore to lead a 5-year project. How can I best establish myself as a competent leader with a successful track record in the eyes of my local team?

Behind the fast-paced western work style and cutting-edge high-tech infrastrucuture, traditional values and indirect communication style still influence the daily interactions at work and in everyday life.

Gaining trust, showing respect for the local culture, and most importantly, building strong relationships with the local team members are all key factors to establishing credibility, which is in itself an on-going process requiring patience and long-term planning.

Since modesty is a highly-valued virtue in the traditional core culture there, it would be ideal to have a mutually trusted third party to present your past successes to the local team without your presence, rather than your blowing your own horn.

What is the main language in Singapore?

There are four official languages in Singapore, namely, English, Malay, Mandarin Chinese and Tamil. The national language is Malay, spoken by around 13 percent of the population. It is also the language in which the national anthem is written.

Although more than a third of Singaporeans speak mandarin Chinese and some of its dialects, English, based on British English, is the de facto language for government and business.
Singapore ranks one of the most English-proficient countries in the world, after Netherland and Norway.

Singlish (Singaporean + English), a unique mixture of pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar elements from various languages, is a widely used spoken tongue in their daily life for the true locals.
