Curios workshops
Curios offers flexible group and individual training workshops adapted to your specific context. Workshops are half-day and that can be delivered in-person (maximum of 10 participants) at your workplace or remotely.
Curios is not a stuffy executive learning experience: The aim is to be accessible, enjoyable and helpful. We keep it small so that we can interact and learn from each other. Best of all, in-person training is low or no-tech to focus on what is important.
Getting culturally sensitive
Cultural sensitivity is a hot term today. Workplaces and society require us to work effectively with people overseas or in our own organizations. Our own cultural context is going to shape everything we do. With greater awareness and acceptance of cultural differences, we can smooth misunderstandings and learn different - sometimes better - ways of doing things. In this workshop we consider how cultural contexts shape emotions and communication styles, study established cultural models that help “decode” other cultures, and explore ways to adapt to others to build cohesion.
This workshop will help you to: -
Understand essential cultural models
Tune in to your own culture and biases
Adapt to other cultures
Build trust and inclusivity
Handle cultural miscommunications and conflict
Using your emotions wisely at work
Emotions are constantly with us and sometimes they can feel like a liability. But, properly managed, they can be a force for good and a resource, guiding us and the organizations we are part of to make productive decisions, do the morally right thing and help us have better relationships. Sometimes we just need a little help in regulating our feelings.This workshop teaches how we notice, feel and categorize our own emotions, how negative emotions manifest at work and beneficial strategies for regulating those feelings.
This workshop will help you to:
Notice and label your own emotions
Identify how emotions enter and manifest in the workplace
Evaluate emotional responses at work
Develop a toolbox for managing your emotions more productively
Manage conflict

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Intercultural communication means the way we communicate and behave with people from other cultures. These other cultures are not just national but organizational, generational, religious. Globalization and the rise of telework imposes communication with other cultures we might not have rubbed up against and we may not really know how to do it. We might mistake respectful silence for detachment, or wonder why someone didn’t act on our feedback because we assume everyone can read between the lines. It is impossible to master every culture but Curios gives you the tools to recognize bias, manage cultural misunderstandings and sharpen your communication with others, giving you a competitive advantage in your career.
