Do you often work with people from different cultures? Within and/or outside your organisation, in your own country and/or abroad? If so, you will undoubtedly encounter cultural differences from time to time. We do not always notice them straight away, but these differences can lead to unnecessary frustration, misunderstandings and a lack of understanding.
To collaborate successfully across different cultures, knowledge of each other’s cultures – and above all, awareness of one’s own culture – is essential. Saskia Maarse helps organisations collaborate across cultural boundaries. Her approach is based, among other things, on her own research and over 20 years of practical experience, incorporated into her own model.
Lectures, workshops and training courses
During her sessions on cultural differences, Saskia demonstrates in a light-hearted, informative and interactive way what we can learn from both our own culture and other cultures in areas such as communication, leadership and trust. This is particularly useful if:
- you work in an international environment
- have colleagues from different cultural backgrounds
- are planning to work in another country
Speaker and trainer on cultural differences
Saskia is an intercultural speaker, trainer and author. Thanks to extensive work experience abroad, global travel and interviews held for six years with business professionals from various countries, Saskia has developed broad knowledge of Dutch culture compared to other cultures. Her mission is to provide people and organisations in an inspiring and humoristic manner – through blogs, books and lectures/workshops – with cultural insights and awareness in order to promote mutual understanding.
