Culture Unveiled

Overview

Many cross cultural organisations deliver their programmes from a male point of view.  At best, these programmes briefly mention gender issues, almost as an afterthought, and then move on to the next topic on the agenda.

As more women are working in the developing world, and in particular in the Middle East and Indian subcontinent, issues important to business women are not always being addressed adequately.

Culture Unveiled offer a variety of programmes aimed at professional business women, run by business women who 'have been there and done that'.  These programmes focus on the modern practicalities for your success in a challenging and exciting part of the world.  Men who anticipate working with business women in the Middle East and Indian subcontinent will benefit from these programmes as well.

What's on your mind?

• Business women, global challenges - pulling off a cultural merger
• Business etiquette - what women need to know and men need to watch for
• The advantages of business women working as 'honorary men'
• Safety and security - terrorism or bad driving: which is your real concern?
• Day to day practicalities - just when you thought you could relax, and when to do exactly that
• ... and then there is Saudi Arabia - designed to address the unique issues and strategies for business women in the Kingdom and how they are changing for the better
