Dealing with the Dutch - Lunch session
A lunch session. This session is a combination of cultural differences and being assertive in the Dutch culture. Or being heard amongst the Dutch. How do you grab the attention and still stay close to your own cultural habits? You will succeed without shouting or acting out.
The session is meant to inspire and to discuss. A promise: the session is going to be so inspirational that you will find yourself talking (discussing) with your mouth full.
We will touch upon the topics below
Lunch programme
statements & cases
With statements and cases we will wander through the 8 axes of culture. Why is the Dutch culture seen as a pastor culture? And how can you adapt, without loosing yourself?
How to say no
Have the Dutch understand your no.
Say what you want to say
How to have them value your opinion.
Enough is enough
Express your boundaries: to your colleagues and your manager.
Requirements for lunch session Dealing with the Dutch
- You are a team of human beings that has been working internationally for more than a month.
- You know you like an international environment. And you like the Dutch, but sometimes… You just don’t understand how other cultures work.
- You feel lost or you want to stick the other person behind the wallpaper (this Dutch expression probably doesn’t exist in English).
Dealing with the Dutch - is that possible, Ann?
I still hope so 😉
My style is interactive. We discuss cases or play them out. Dare and do.
I am a fast thinker and a very sportive person. So think and do is perfect and I try to always apply this.
The film is in Dutch (but you can activate subtitles in English), it gives you an impression of me.
