"I went to see Dr. Blendstrup because I wanted to learn
more about daily business practices in the US.
We worked on my management styles, recognizing different ways
of managing people or a team, changing my vocabulary reflecting
a German approach to one suited for the US business climate.
She also helped me organize and formulate my thoughts for a business presentation, which was grammatically correct and had sound ideas.
Best of all, I enjoyed our sessions and I recommend her for
other individuals looking to brush up their business communication skills."

Dos and Don'ts of doing business around the World
Do you travel to a variety of different countries and are confused at how to behave appropriately each time? Are local customs confusing and you can't figure out when it's important to know the differences? Is your own business style interfering with getting the contract you are negotiating, but you don't know why? Then learning the dos and don'ts of international business is important for you.
Effective Communications Training Programs will:
- Address why neglecting "culture in action" can be dangerous
- Analyze why our actions are influenced by our culture and what the consequences can be
- Address cultures around the world in major business areas in which you do business
- Point out important dos and don'ts according to individual countries' codes
Classes cover:
- Isolating what it takes to be part of a foreign culture, what your values are and how can you accommodate them to others' value system
- Understanding the other side's expectations and behaviors
- Getting a grip on the local language and developping expertise in 'local' business communications
- Understanding when you are dealing with a past or future oriented business culture therefore enhancing your business communications skills
- Seeing if the country you are working in is group oriented or an individualistic culture
- Analyzing case studies showing actual past business activities of successful and unsuccessful teams
- Looking at written reports from international teams around the world about US business performances
