The Masterclass structure

Day one: We’ll bust the common French stereotypes to help you navigate the national code of conduct.
Day two: We’ll introduce you to 9 personality types you might encounter in France and the art of reading
between the lines.
Day three: We’ll explore each type’s typical needs and wants to help you lay down the foundations of negotiation.
Day four: We’ll practice influencing tools and techniques that are effective when working with the 9 types.
Day five: Using what you have learned during the week you’ll negotiate your way through a simulated crisis in our Situation Room.

Is this course right for me?

• I don’t understand where my French colleagues are coming from;

• I find regular emotional outbursts often create unnecessary frictions;

• I don’t know how to steer negotiations forward;

• I feel meetings are often over-political and hierarchical, which gets in the way of the decision-making process;

• I am struggling with constant competition and lack of teamwork;

• I feel too much time is spent discussing irrelevant details, with constant repetition and no clear sign of progress;

• I want to understand why the French over-theorise everything;

• I want to find the secret place where decisions are made for the team, but don’t know how;

• I want to be better at offering constructive criticism, but can’t seem to find the words.

If you can identify with three or more of these points, this course would definitely benefit you.
