Through its International Business Consulting Practice, The Boston Language Institute helps companies understand cultural differences that can impede international business ventures or lead to communication problems within their own organization.

Everyday you communicate across international and cultural borders. When holding meetings, making presentations, conducting negotiations, or participating in social situations, how you send your message is as important as what you say. You must understand how your message is sent, how your message is received and how to bridge the inevitable international and cultural gaps that occur.

Different cultures receive and process information differently. They think differently, make decisions differently, and act upon the way they hear differently. More business deals founder, more projects deteriorate and die and more time, money and energy are wasted due to miscommunication than any other cause.

The Institute offers companies both group seminars and one-on-one coaching. Topics may include cultural values and their impact on business practices and behavior, business etiquette and protocol, gender issues and hierarchies, meetings and negotiations, forging relationships, foreign government restrictions on joint ventures or anything else that clients wish to focus on.
