Get Ready for Europe/Welcome to America
You are an American and your company is sending you to Europe for a few weeks, months, or even years. You feel you are ready, you've studied the market, learned a bit of the language and received cross-cultural training, and yet you are anxious over what to expect.
Or, vice versa, you have just arrived in America from Europe, and although you are now in a country that seemed so familiar from afar, you are going through an unexpected cultural shock.
Keynote speaker and native European Katja Ridderbusch, in poignant, educational and entertaining presentations, will help prepare Americans for their European adventures, and she'll also help Europeans adapt to life in the New World. These keynote addresses offer practical tips for cross-cultural survival on continents that have often been compared to Mars and Venus, close and far away at the same time, friends and strangers, different yet interdependent. You will learn, for example, why politics and religion are off limits in conversations among Americans, and why talking about money is considered poor form in Europe and a necessity in America.
