Business meetings in a cross-cultural environment present quite a few challenges. The way a meeting is conducted in Japan is different than in Brazil, for example. Communication styles vary from culture to culture, as do ideas about authority and hierarchy, which only increases the risk of misunderstanding between members of different cultures during business meetings. Therefore, online meetings in a cross-cultural environment require a special approach and adequate preparation. When hosting a meeting with people from different cultures, consider the different needs and approaches of your colleagues.

• Is small talk always welcome to start an online meeting?
• How do different cultures approach time?
• Do authority and hierarchy influence the meeting?
• How can you prepare well for an online meeting?

Different cultures’ approaches to the concept of time will be discussed by:

If:

• you want to spend your mornings quietly drinking coffee instead of nervously searching through your closet for things that fit,
• you no longer have the strength or desire to go shopping in the mall after work or you get lost in the maze of stores,
• you have clothes in your closet that you don’t wear even though they cost a lot of money,
• you prefer to buy less often, but good quality items,
• you want to look good but spend the minimum amount of time and money on it,

then the “Business Lego Closet” workshop is just what you need. It will solve your clothing problems and make you feel great in your own skin.

When you look stunning and feel good about your image, your confidence grows. And that makes you feel you can achieve anything!

I dedicate this workshop, which I have the pleasure of hosting thanks to the courtesy of Balajcza Linguistic Services, to all those who have to leave their home every morning and commute to their workplace.

The “lego closet”  is for those who, when standing in front of their wardrobe in the morning, tend to think “I don’t have anything to wear”.

Thanks to this workshop, your style will flourish and it will be easier for you to choose the right outfit for work. You will look elegant and professional, and you will no longer waste your morning trying to select the right set of clothes. You’ll learn how to do it in half the time it takes you now.

The workshop will cover basic clothing and accessories to help you build a style for work.

Also, you will:

• stop buying clothes you won’t wear,
• not struggle with matching clothes every day,
• look great and feel confident in any situation,
• learn how to plan your clothing expenses without feeling guilty about it.

Workshop agenda:

1. What is a “lego closet” and why is it worth having one?
2. How do you know if this solution is for you?
3. Ways to create the perfect content of your closet
4. The advantages and disadvantages of owning a lego closet
5. Take a step towards minimalism – key elements and proportions in your closet
6. Women’s and men’s “lego-closet”
7. Practical ways to plan your fashion budget

The workshop will be conducted by:

Iwona Sasin – engineer and image coach, graduate of the Faculty of Textiles at the Łódź University of Technology and Université de la Mode, Université Lumière Lyon 2 at the Faculty of Communication in the Fashion and Luxury Industry.Iwona gained her professional experience in France, working with the style agencies of Nelly Rodi, Peclers and Martine Leherpeur, among others.
