As companies become increasingly international, and many of us start our workdays collaborating across cultures—and sometimes even virtually—having cultural awareness is absolutely essential.
Optimize collaboration with your international colleagues through cultural training
Achieve success in your global collaborations
Cultural intelligence training can provide you with the essential tools to ensure success in international collaborations and multicultural teams – whether you want to deepen your knowledge of the work culture in a specific country or region, develop your overall cultural intelligence (CQ), optimize communication and collaboration in virtual teams, or gain the skills to lead a culturally diverse team.
Focus Areas
Services in Cultural Intelligence
Below you can read about our various courses, workshops, and professional development programs. As part of our consulting services, we offer to send a questionnaire to participants and hold a preliminary meeting to identify your or your organization’s specific needs.
This allows our consultants to tailor your workshops, presentations, and training programs to suit your organization perfectly.
Cultural
intelligence
Training in cultural intelligence sharpens the general understanding of cultural differences and how culture helps shape our behavior and our view of other people’s actions.
Global
management
A workshop in global leadership provides insights into how your employees’ cultural backgrounds influence their expectations of you as a leader. You will gain tools to adapt your leadership style and have the opportunity to develop personal CQ leadership strategies
Multicultural
teams
Based on your team or group, we help—through exercises, knowledge-based presentations, and reflections—to discover how you can use the strengths of being a multicultural team, all while having fun and strengthening team or group relationships.
Country-specific
cultural training
If you want to understand the work culture of a specific country, country-specific cultural training is the right choice. We have country specialists with expert knowledge of business culture in over 50 countries.
Expatriation
& repatriation
Our assignment preparation program provides deep insights into the work and daily culture of your destination country. You’ll also receive practical guidance on managing the changes that you—and your partner or family, if relevant—may encounter.
Virtual
management
If you lead employees based in other locations, virtual leadership training can help you understand cultural differences in leadership expectations and strengthen trust and communication in your multicultural, virtual team.
Virtual
collaboration
Virtual teams often struggle to build trust and team spirit. A (virtual) workshop on remote collaboration gives you simple tools to create connection, trust, and better communication across different locations.
Culture in
other contexts
Would you like to focus on the connection between culture and negotiation, culture and feedback, or culture and conflict management? Over the years, we have tailored numerous workshops and programs that integrate cultural perspectives into specific work situations.

Workshops & Exercises
Research-based, engaging, and practical workshops
At ConnectingCultures, we combine the latest research with real-world challenges. We deliver evidence-based insights in an engaging and accessible way – and we make sure the process is both interactive and enjoyable.
We turn insight into action through exercises, reflections, and case work, ensuring that participants leave with concrete strategies they can apply immediately. In this way, learning becomes embedded in everyday practice, and future decisions are made on a solid foundation of knowledge.
Our experienced consultants have many years of expertise in facilitating workshops on Cultural Intelligence, Diversity & Inclusion, leadership, and collaboration.
Measurement and Analysis
Data-driven insights as a foundation for targeted organizational development
Do you want to work strategically with change and development in your organization? Our measurements and surveys provide a solid data foundation that you can use to drive lasting change and improve conditions for your employees.
Our measurements, analysis, and surveys helps you understand employee experiences, prioritize the initiatives with the greatest impact, strengthen engagement, and document progress. By acting on data-driven insights rather than assumptions, you can build a stronger, more inclusive, and sustainable organizational culture.
Take a look at the surveys and assessments we can offer your organization.

Cultural Intelligence workshops
Interactive training that focuses
on the 4 elements of CQ
In our workshops, when we train participants to interact with high cultural intelligence in global collaborations, we focus on strengthening the 4 CQ competencies defined in Signe Ørom’s book:
CQ Head, CQ Heart, CQ Eyes, and CQ Muscle. In other words, we don’t just provide knowledge about culture and cultural differences—we train the ability to interact, stimulate motivation, and challenge your cultural biases. Participants typically leave a CQ workshop with personal CQ strategies.

Evidence-based knowledge
Culturel Awareness Training
with an emphasis on training
At ConnectingCultures, we are firmly rooted in both research and real-world practice. We always base our training on current research findings and provide evidence-based knowledge.
At the same time, it is important to us that what we deliver is grounded in real challenges and is concrete and relatable. To ensure that this concrete, evidence-based knowledge translates into real skills, our cultural training places strong emphasis on hands-on practice.
Our Cell Therapy Transformational Research Unit is very diverse and separated by time zones extending from Denmark to California. Having Diversity & Inclusion high on the agenda and acknowledging the different work cultures, we reached out to Connecting Cultures. Everyone has been obligated to participate in the training session, to learn and expand our understanding of cultural intelligence and the ability to work and build relations in a virtual space. With a theoretical approach, relevant real life examples and time for reflections, Connecting Cultures did an excellent job, and we are all aware of the difficult skill of being Culturally Intelligent.
