COLLABORATING ACROSS CULTURES

Depending on what culture you’re from, how you make decisions, build trust, or give feedback can be completely different from your co-workers, employees or managers.

Spearheaded by Erin Meyer at INSEAD in her book THE CULTURE MAP, there now exists a system to decode communication differences and nuances which exist in every facet of global companies, often creating challenges and even (expensive) problems.

GOOD NEWS! iMERGENCE can help!

Our improv-bsaed program is a fun, interactive, and dynamic way to explore the variety of global communication styles that exist within different cultures—like direct versus indirect feedback, hierarchical versus egalitarian dynamics, and low-context versus high-context communication.

Through improv exercises and engaging educational tools, teams gain hands-on experience in understanding and bridging these cultural differences for clearer interactions, deeper trust, and increased collaboration.

Collaborating Across Culture Workshops


These engaging, hands-on workshops delve into the unique ways different cultures communicate, lead, listen, think, and work.

Discover the 6 CULTURAL SCALES that offer fresh insights for fostering stronger connections and more effective collaboration.


Then using the tools of improv, employees will have a blast experiencing:

  • Trust and unity

  • Curiosity in cultural communication styles

  • Flexibility in fixed ways of operating and thinking

  • A new language based on “yes, and” to flourish

  • A playful way to address cultural norms and habits

  • A shared experience of joy and togetherness, beyond culture

“I didn’t know how much fun it would be to uncover how many different ways our team communicates!
The improv class helped us with tools and a reset so we can move forward from here.”
— KRISTEN C, Skadden
