Cross-cultural communication is not always easy. First impressions and communication styles can make a big difference in building relationships of trust with the community in which you are working.

An effective planning effort will successfully collect input from residents and community leaders. Through effective communication and collaboration, you will better assess the needs and preferences of the community. Our cultural training answers the following questions:

• How does culture affect communication?
• How do you effectively build trust with city and tribal officials?
• What are the keys to a successful planning effort?
