All of Andy’s presentations are customized and incorporate a series of behavioral and experiential exercises, small group discussions and group debriefings. His programs include: The Eureka Phenomenon
"Eureka" was the cry of miners when they discovered new gold – it’s the promise of newfound wealth. Andy helps companies recognize the untapped wealth available in recruiting a workforce from different backgrounds and how targeting diverse markets enables them to tap into new sources of creativity and profits.
The Cross-Cultural Paradigm
Both creativity and conflict are inherent in diversity – you can’t have one without the other. Andy utilizes examples from art, history and marketing to teach the tools of cross-cultural conflict resolution. Companies will learn the skills of cross-cultural communication, the differences between valid cultural generalizations and ethnic stereotypes and how to avoid and work through the frustrations of cultural "hooks."
Freeing the Giant
Andy’s Uncle Jake transformed his 8’6" frame from a liability to an asset. Discover how Jake, who spent 14 years as a freak in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, found freedom by embracing his own uniqueness and how his tall frame eventually became the least significant thing about him. At the same time, learn to embrace diversity instead of simply accepting it, learn to see past differences and avoid the dangers of stereotyping, and learn to celebrate and embrace your own uniqueness.
The Secrets of Cross-Cultural Marketing
Andy uses his 23 years experience in research as well as his background as a cross-cultural psychologist, trainer and consultant to teach the secrets of successful marketing strategies for large and small companies. During this program companies will learn the do’s and don’ts of successful cross-cultural marketing from real life examples, how to market to bilinguals and how to be flexible in their approaches to diverse groups.
