German-American
Cross-Cultural
Business Training 101
Germans and Americans could and should be the perfect complement for each other in business, but we rarely profit from this amazing advantage. Most of the time, a handful of unanticipated but highly impactful cultural differences are allowed to diminish our performance and block us from achieving our true potential together. Success is not a given, it’s a choice!
About the course
German-American Cross-Cultural Business Training 101 is a 9-lesson course, offered FREE OF CHARGE to both Germans and Americans, who work with each other in any meaningful business relationship, including as colleagues, customers, suppliers, supervisors, employees, advisors, etc.
Success in German-American business depends on fully understanding our cultural alignment issues and on knowing how to manage them. For this reason, GACCBT 101 is a two-part course.

Structure
Part I, consisting of five lessons, delivers a fact-based cultural comparison. This is a crucial starting point because the issues that continually disrupt and rob German-American business of its true potential cannot be solved until they are truly understood.
Part II, consisting of four lessons, presents proven, best practice solutions to some of the most problematic and seemingly intractable issues in all of German-American business. In these four lessons, students will quickly learn how to implement a powerful and proven working-style, utilize proven win-win negotiation and change management tactics, and escape the crippling undertow of an underperformance-generating status quo.
German-American Cross-Cultural Business Training 101 can also serve as a proven reference/resource that users can return to again and again, whether they want some extra help to deal with a difficult situation, prepare for a tough meeting or even to write an email that gets the intended results instead of the next misunderstanding.
