Todd Smith of Ripple Effect Consulting is among the top foreign Khmer speakers in the world, and has spent the last 18 years translating the Cambodian mindset to foreign managers and executives from high-profile companies. Western managers frequently ask Todd how they can get more engagement or “buy in” from their teams, and he has found that managers often experience the same four frustrations:

• Why doesn’t my team ever go the extra mile? (learn to instill heartfelt buy-in and ownership)
• Why won’t my team open up and share ideas? (get a more open dynamic environment)
• Why do my Khmer and foreign staff not mix with each other? (develop closer staff relationships)
• Why can’t I ever seem to get the facts from staff? (get more transparency with better understanding)

Our January 25th Breakfast Talk is an express interactive workshop offering managers of intercultural workplaces the solutions to these four frustrations along with other surprising but simple tools that allow them to access their team’s full potential (and dissolve lingering tensions).

One of Ripple Effect’s top Cambodian trainers Srey Mom will be present to offer a Cambodian perspective throughout the workshop. Cambodian professionals interested in building closer relationships with foreign partners or clients should also attend this workshop for an inside look into Western mindsets.
