BCCT Upskilling:
Global Mindset - Working Effectively Across Cultures in Southeast Asia

The British Chamber of Commerce Thailand (BCCT) invites you to join an engaging and highly practical workshop, Global Mindset: Working Effectively Across Cultures in Southeast Asia, led by Colin Harlow,, Director and Lead Consultant at Olive Training Consultants.

In today’s interconnected business environment, success increasingly depends on the ability to work effectively across cultures. Across Southeast Asia, professionals are required to collaborate with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders from diverse cultural backgrounds, each bringing different expectations around communication, hierarchy, leadership, and decision-making.

Many workplace challenges in international organisations are not technical, they are cultural.

This workshop equips participants with the awareness, frameworks, and practical strategies needed to navigate these differences with confidence, build stronger relationships, and improve performance in multicultural environments.

What You’ll Learn

• Understand how culture influences workplace behaviour across Southeast Asia
• Recognise differences in communication styles, including direct vs indirect communication
• Navigate hierarchy, authority, and decision-making across cultures
• Develop strategies to build trust and collaboration in multicultural teams
• Adapt your leadership and communication style for different cultural contexts
• Apply practical frameworks to real-world workplace scenarios

What You’ll Take Away

• A structured Global Mindset framework to apply immediately in your role
• Practical tools to improve cross-cultural communication and collaboration
• Increased confidence working across ASEAN cultures
• A Personal Action Plan tailored to your workplace context
• A Certificate of Completion issued by Olive Training Consultants, featuring the CPD Standards Board UK stamp
