Agilis Executive Consulting

Exclusive to Forbes Business Council members, I look forward to leading this roundtable discussion with the International Business Group on exploring global expansion.

I have researched three areas that support a successful expansion into global markets, and a leader’s role when navigating cultural differences and collaborating with prospective clients.

We will explore the following themes:

✨Researching the local customs of different countries is helpful when exploring the opportunity to expand your business globally. This gesture also supports the business etiquette of that country in a respectful, empathetic manner. What are some proactive methods you have used in studying, understanding, listening, accepting and welcoming different ideas and processes being practiced in a different country?

✨Although English is the universal language, the beauty of working with people in different countries is often the opportunity to learn, speak and understand parts of their own local language. When communicating with prospective clients or team members who may not be proficient in English, how do you navigate any limitations in English proficiency to ensure a successful collaboration?

✨I find it inspiring to become a part of the conversation and engage with other leaders in different countries to recognize their unique processes for their teams. What methods do you find effective as a leader to help dispel any personal biases, which includes expanding your own perspectives to apply to different leadership styles?

I look forward to sharing the highlights from Council members across the globe, following this inspiring discussion.

Stay tuned 💫
