Training
Dealing with the Dutch
You are a professional in your work, you have received your credits elsewhere and have now accepted a job in the Netherlands. In your job you need collaborate with Dutch people who have travelled all over the world. They are proud to be open-minded and direct in their communication. In this course you will learn to understand the Dutch better, which in turn will facilitate a supportive professional working relationship.
Perhaps you perceive some of the Dutch as having a fixed mindset, as opinionated, stubborn or even blunt? What is it about this behavior that can sometimes trigger you? Is it them or you? And if you know, what are the actions you could take that would facilitate doing business more successfully? At the same time: where could it be safe to stick to your own way of working?
You already know that successful integration and doing business is a two-way street. You therefore are willing to reflect on your personal mindset and behavior, while trying to better understand the Dutch. You would like to receive tips and tools to enrich your style of communication, for being successful in working in the Netherlands.
