He has traveled extensively across the world, built up business in China and Japan, negotiated in the US and Brazil, and improved collaboration between almost all European cultures, including the \u2013 often misunderstood \u2013 Finnish culture.<\/p>\n<h3>Popular topics:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Inclusion and Diversity<\/li>\n<li>Helping companies understand how to work better across cultures<\/li>\n<li>International negotiation, the tips, tricks, and tactics of negotiating across cultures<\/li>\n<li>Leading across human differences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>\u201cFrank has a suitcase full of world-wide experience and this is noticeable. His observational and communication skills reflect in everything, even in the way he adjusts the training ad hoc depending on the group\u2019s needs and energy. The content is widely applicable and, as far as I\u2019m concerned, essential for anyone who works with people. Interesting statistics, memorable stories, funny examples and insightful exercises, eyeopeners regarding own behavior, cultural differences and cooperation in general are guaranteed.\u201d &#8211; Aster Katoen, Product Development Engineer at Sonion<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In his daily work Frank helps professionals become stronger, more effective and achieve optimal results through meaningful dialogue. Just like he built up his career on a strong start in science, he likes to base his work on solid insights and well-proven methods. Frank understands business, simplifies what others perceive as complex, and comes up with practical solutions to improve communication at the work floor. It has been said that he speaks \u201dengineering and science\u201d in an easily understandable way to a wide audience. He rapidly builds up trust in groups such that they open up and dare to speak about meaningful things. He challenges and confronts, with an empathetic smile and a results-oriented mindset.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWithin minutes, Frank succeeds to capture his audience and takes them on a fascinating journey into the wonderful world of different cultures and habits. An eye-opener for all working frequently with people from other cultures.\u201d \u2013 Nicole Biesheuvel, Head of Corporate Sales and Marketing, Benelux at Schenker Logistics<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Frank shifted his focus recently to Inclusion &amp; Diversity, on which he has a practical \u2013 yet unconventional \u2013 view. His book about creating inclusive workplaces will come out in Q3 2023, and Frank already speaks about the content of the book at company gatherings and HR meetings.<\/p>\n<h2>More about Frank\u2019s topics:<\/h2>\n<p>Frank Garten has been working for the last 15 years as an independent consultant, and gives interactive lectures, talks, and workshops on cultural diversity, cross-cultural cooperation, communication &amp; influence, personal leadership, and inclusion. He combines a sound theoretical basis from a PhD in Physics, practical insights from his years working in international businesses and a no-nonsense attitude with common sense.<\/p>\n<p>Frank\u2019s talks and lectures stand out for their practical focus and concrete advice. Should you copy your superiors on an email? Do you present conclusions first or last when giving a talk to management? How do you discuss the undiscussable at work? Should you act confidently or with modesty in first interactions with colleagues, suppliers, clients, and partners from across the world?<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  \n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"text-block_da1f082e0dd584568e351caec10f3112\" class=\"block-text block-text--columns- lg:my-20 my-10\">\n      <div class=\"block-text__body\">\n          <\/div>\n  \n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frank Garten is an expert on intercultural communication and management.
