Building Better Relationships
in Global Organizations
Featuring:
Vince Varallo
Author of "Leading in English: How to Communicate and Inspire Others in the International Workplace"
About this event:
A growing phenomenon is gripping global companies: more people in the world work in English as a second language than as a first. This impact fuels the need for an inclusive environment that drives the demand to uncover hidden talent.
A dynamic divide--acting as a huge wedge—is growing between the international professionals who speak English as a first language and as a second language. Conventional solutions, such as accent modification and conversation programs, do not address the problem. These professionals are the cross-roads of language, business, and culture.
Now this message is being delivered in a keynote speech by Vince Varallo for ATD-NNJ. At our May 18 meeting, Vince, managing partner at Lead in English, will guide us through a lively and interactive workshop. His recent book, Leading in English: How to Confidently Communicate and Inspire Others in the International Workplace (Wiley & Sons, March 2107) will serve as the framework for a discussion on how international professionals can build stronger relationships.
Vince’s message will not only be motivational and practical but also will help prepare large global companies to make a paradigm shift on managing the multinational workforce. Vince will share stories that are entertaining and profound. The central message is critical for those who are finding that English can be an obstacle.
Every day, people have conversations, participate in meetings, and deliver presentations. English is a tricky language, and miscommunication can derail any project. We invigorate international professionals—both native and non-native speakers—by helping them build confidence, so that critical communication is understood and acted upon.
Vince will provide expert insight, practical tips and a bit of humor to help shift the mindset toward more unconventional solutions.
