Working With Norwegians
As background we explore the facts behind the behaviours within your own culture “Know then Thyself” and then consider the same for the Norwegian culture.
Focusing on Trompenaar’s five main cultural challenges of time, truth, relationships, life and communication we explore how to handle the issues that can arise from them. In addition, we give key facts, personal insights and crucial information on the practicalities of living in Norway.

Cross-Cultural Communications
Transitions to another culture are always interesting but sometimes integrating with another culture can be extremely difficult. There are new traditions and customs to be recognized, different patterns of body language to be interpreted, different attitudes and behaviours to try to understand and naturally new ways of expressing yourself to master. All of these factors can put a strain on the “easy” task of communicating! However, by understanding these challenges fully, you will have tools in your bag to help you untangle the web of cross-cultural communications in any culture!
