If your distributed team is like others that span multiple locations and cultures, you probably wish that you could do more to build trust and strengthen relationships. Cultivating trust among a group of people who rarely (if ever) meet in person and who may work several timezones away is hard enough. But when you factor in cultural and language differences, the challenges become exponentially more complex. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn and share tips, approaches and skills for building bridges across cultures, timezones and locations. Please be prepared to share questions, challenges and relevant anecdotes.
