Kwintessential to Design Pioneering Intercultural Skills Manual for London’s Service Sector
London, UK (ContentDesk) December 21, 2005 -- Kwintessential Ltd, a UK based provider of cross cultural communications services, is proud to announce its success in winning a tender to partake in a groundbreaking initiative to develop intercultural skills training tools for London based businesses.London is a multicultural and multilingual city. One in four Londoners come from an ethnic minority group and the city boasts representation of over 90 countries living within its borders. This cultural diversity has introduced new challenges for Londons employers. The need for greater intercultural skills in staff is a necessity if businesses are to facilitate clearer lines of internal communication, provide higher levels of customer service and ultimately create successful businesses.To support employers in meeting this challenge, the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) London Central commissioned a study into the needs of Londons businesses. The resulting Managing in a Global City report produced by Regional Language Network London (RLN) and supported by CILT (the National Centre for Languages) identified intercultural skills training as a fundamental need for managers and supervisors in key Central London service sectors.The LSC further commissioned a second stage to the process which involves the design and development of generic intercultural skills training tools that can be used by businesses to provide their personnel with the appropriate knowledge and know-how to work effectively in a cross cultural environment.Kwintessential, one of the UKs most up and coming intercultural training providers, has been chosen as the firm to undertake this trailblazing initiative.
Kwintessential provide businesses, organisations and individuals with cultural awareness training covering a range of topics including expatriate relocation briefings, intercultural management training, cross cultural team building, diversity training and international etiquette. Their bespoke approach combined with unmatched expertise has afforded their clients success on the international stage.The training tools to be developed shall provide a simple yet highly effective means of addressing many of the issues that manifest in a multicultural workplace. Communication styles, value systems, beliefs, assumptions, perceptions of time, personal space and eye contact are just some of the many areas that are influenced by peoples cultural programming . When these differences exist within the workplace the possibility for causing offense, misunderstandings and poor performance are increased. By building cultural awareness and nurturing intercultural skills such training helps build bridges, leverage differences and form strong, productive teams. We are delighted to be working alongside three visionary partners in the LSC, RLN and CILT.
All have shown great enthusiasm, determination and foresight in addressing one of the most important business issues of our time, stated Managing Director, Neil Payne. Intercultural skills will increase in importance as our cities and country as a whole continues to become so richly diverse in its cultural make-up. Providing our businesses with intercultural training will make a real difference to their performance. Perhaps more importantly the move has galvanised and given publicity to the whole area of intercultural skills within the workplace.

What to look for in your Golf Fitness Training Program
It is no secret that resistance training exercise will have a tremendous impact in a persons' athletic performance. Golf is still pretty new to this secret, but is quickly seeing all of the benefits strength training has on a persons' golf swing, game performance and endurance.
In fact any kind of strength training is creating immediate impact on players.
Golf Specific Exercises and Golf Fitness Exercise programs are popping up everywhere, but the truth is this "if you are an avid golfer and have never exercised with weights before and started a very basic strength training program, you would see some improvement to your game" says Rafael Moret, creator of the Miami Golf Fitness Program. "The key is to start a program that delivers not only overall conditioning, but golf specific strengthening exercises and injury prevention techniques with specific stretching for the golf player".
"As a Golf Fitness Instructor there are very specific things that...
