Break through the Iceberg ~Get Your Messages Heard and Acted Upon Across Cultures~

What makes you successful in one culture doesn’t make you successful in another. In today’s diverse work environment, we face differences in cultures, generations, values…and sometimes feel like we just can’t get through to them.

It turns out that in a culturally diverse environment, our “common sense” may not be so common. If you rely on your “common sense”, your communication may lead to huge misunderstandings, mistakes, and mistrust.

It’s time to apply the three step process called “The 3A’s”, so you can break through cultural and personal barriers, and communicate effectively beyond differences, globally, and locally.

In this keynote, Natsuyo will spark your curiosity to learn how you can leverage our differences and elevate cultural inclusion. You will learn how to embrace your cultural and personal differences, identify where and how big the differences are, and adapt your messages, so you can get your message not only clearly heard, but acted upon across cultures.

Start applying the 3A’s today, and you’ll find the 4th!

3 immediately useful ideas your audience will take away:

  • Build empathy in workplace and drive diverse team’s improved productivity.
  • Increase awareness of how cultural difference impacts daily business and learn to
    communicate effectively.

The 6C’s of Strategic StorytellingTM in Global Business ~ How to become more influential and powerfully persuasive ~

Now more than ever in an increasingly competitive market, your customers want to buy from brands they can relate to. Before you sell anything, you need your audience to connect with you. They need to understand your WHY. Yet few leaders know how to articulate their WHY. 

The WHY is your story, your reason for being and WHY anyone should even care. Just sharing case studies or data packed presentations doesn’t entice your audience to connect with you on a more personal level.

The 6C’s of Strategic Storytelling(TM) will help you become more authentic, relatable, and powerfully persuasive by communicating your messages using business storytelling.

You will learn a step-by-step strategy to craft your message into a great story, that engages your team and customers to listen, take action, buy from you, or buy into you.

You’ll leave inspired to re-think how you win over new customers and transform how you present. Get ready to uncover stories THAT SELL.

3 immediately useful ideas your audience will take away:

  • Learn how to turn case studies and ordinary situations into great stories and leave a lasting legacy.
  • Find a balance between logic and emotional values.
  • Become more authentic, meaningful, and powerful by communicating your messages using storytelling.

In today’s global business environment, the success of a diverse team depends upon each and every member being able to shine. You couldn’t just present your idea fully formed and insist that others comply.

You will learn how to actively listen to your team members, align goals and vision, adapt your communication style, and empower diverse team.

Elevating your team to a high performance team takes two to tango. Are you ready to step into the ballroom?

3 immediately useful ideas your audience will take away:

  • Become more intentional about actions to become a competent leader.
  • Understand the difference between a group and a team.
  • Learn what it takes to transform a good team to a high performance team.
