Connecting: Cross-Cultural Awareness
About this event
How do we equip ourselves with tools to rapidly adjust to cultural changes and communicate effectively in an international environment?
Raising our cross-cultural awareness not only questions our perceptions and attitudes it also self-questions who we are.
Our NETWORK member Françoise Falaise will facilitate this event and open our minds to more creative ways to leverage cultural differences.
She will look at how bridging cultural differences aims to unleash our individual and collective potentials and guide us in open discussions on questions such as:
- What are cultural stereotypes based on?
- How to build trust with people from a different culture?
- What does cultural agility mean and how to develop this skill?
Sometimes finding answers to these questions seems difficult even when we have been working and living in a multi-cultural environment for long. It is not a taken for granted reality.
This interactive workshop will explore some of our cultural biases, how they are often deeply rooted in our beliefs and behaviours and how they can impact our personal and professional relationships in a multi-cultural environment.
Through a brief presentation of the Cultural Orientations Framework (COF) assessment tool, Françoise will explain the salient cultural characteristics for individuals, teams and organisation. This development and audit tool offers an inclusive and dynamic vision of culture.
Registration closes on: Monday 21st March @12 noon
Meet the Facilitator
Françoise Falisse is a certified executive (ACC, ICF), intercultural & life coach (COF), trainer and certified consultant of the Method of Colours (AEC Disc). She equips managers working abroad with tools that help them to rapidly adjust to cultural changes and to communicate effectively in a multicultural environment.
With 25 years of experience in Luxembourg, Belgium, and overseas in Africa (Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria), she understands the challenges that career momentum brings.
Françoise has a special niche for supporting early-career women who have undergone substantial changes in their personal and professional lives, as they moved abroad. She assists participants to discover how to leverage their multicultural experience as a stepping stone to develop their identity and personal leadership potential, so they can unleash their growth and build their confidence.
She also launched her podcast of interviews, “Women Abroad”, to give a voice for women to share their experience of living and working abroad.
She believes that a manager who is more adapted and better trained in terms of personal understanding is more efficient, well-balanced, motivated and inspiring for others. Building trust with her clients is of paramount importance for Françoise who focuses on being a valuable resource for her clients; helping them grow as individuals and reach their objectives using clear boundaries and safe environment.
Françoise is often described as inspiring, stimulating and visionary who imparts confidence, with a deeply human approach. The bright colours she loves to wear contribute to her flare and influence as she shares her experiences and inner joy with clients.
Françoise has two Masters degrees in Management and Germanic Philology from UCL in Belgium.
