Professional Edge Consulting is a Corporate Training and Consulting company based in Ottawa, Canada. We provide training and consultancy services in three main focus ares : Cultural Intelligence, International Protocol, and Business Etiquette.
Cultural Intelligence
Cultural intelligence is defined as person’s ability to work effectively in a culturally diverse environment. This ability can be improved by learning and identifying the social nuances, beliefs and behaviours of diverse cultures and applying that knowledge to achieve business goals or objectives. It is often a determining factor in the success of international expansions, as companies move business, goods, and employees in to new markets. A sense of cultural awareness is essential today as technology has made our world a much smaller place and we interact with people from all parts of the globe on a daily basis. We help you understand how an individual’s cultural background affects their behavioural patterns and why understanding this is essential to cultivating a successful business relationship.
International Protocol
Protocol is more than just a set of rules for correct conduct in various situations, it is the science of facilitating and fostering relationships with people from other cultures. Expanding globally means meeting people from different countries and cultural backgrounds. Being aware of the proper ways of greeting, welcoming, and entertaining clients sets you a part from other professionals and makes you more relatable to your foreign counterparts. We teach you how to interact with international clients, dignitaries, and world leaders. We give you the training and coaching you need to network and interact with individuals from all ranks of the social and corporate hierarchy with the highest confidence.
Business Etiquette
Business etiquette denotes a code of conduct for the corporate environment and encompasses everything from shaking hands to closing a business deal. We realize that first impressions do count and you only get once chance to make a great first impression. Whether it’s communicating more effectively or projecting a professional image we understand the importance of building and maintaining your personal brand.
