Intercultural Highlights
Equip all employees with the essentials to work more consciously and effectively across cultures. Having provided cultural training for hundreds of expats over the years, Barton Insights Founder, Katherine Barton, is passionate that locals with international colleagues or clients equally need to improve their intercultural skills. This talk is ideal for graduate and leadership development programmes and anything in between!
Managing Expats
Expatriate employees face unique challenges and pressures – are you briefing your managers on how to look out for their wellbeing and to get the best from them? This presentation is designed to help your managers better understand the expat experience and to provide them with useful ideas for supporting direct reports through this significant transition.
Expat Transition
If your employees, any accompanying partners or international students are not receiving 1:1 training or coaching (strongly recommended) to help them through the major transition of a relocation, this talk is essential. It provides an overview of the typical expat adaptation process, the wide range of ‘culture shock’ symptoms to recognise, the challenges and opportunities, as well as strategies so that they can actively succeed rather than survive in the new environment.
British Culture Highlights
This 60–90-minute talk distils our longer one or two-day trainings into some main highlights and is suited to visiting delegations or professionals who work only occasionally or remotely with the British. It provides valuable insights into key values and behaviours that are likely to be encountered when interacting with the British. It puts people in a better position to work more effectively and build stronger relationships with British colleagues, as well as to understand what makes a good impression.
Ready and Resilient
Learn the mindset and strategies that can help in a crisis and gain new ideas for how you can prepare for whatever life sends your way. Following breast cancer in 2021/2022, Barton Insights Founder Katherine was inspired to share her story and the lessons learnt. This uplifting, practical talk is an ideal addition to any team or well-being day, as well as for activities around mental health or Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
Be Your Own Coach
What is it a coach does, and can you replicate this for yourself ? Whilst nothing can replace the role of a coach, there are a lot of strategies they use that can be helpfully applied to our own daily life and when interacting with colleagues. This talk is designed to motivate, increase self-awareness and give participants some useful insights to ‘self-coach’, better manage their mindset and more easily achieve their goals.
