Peter Loorits
Dragonbridge Corporation
Montreal Trainers Group
12:00 noon
Thursday November 22, 2018
Hurley’s Irish Pub
1225 Crescent St, Montreal, QC
• Peter Loorits was born in Stockholm, Sweden and has a BA
(Economics) and an MBA (International Business and Marketing)
obtained at York University in Toronto and Université Laval. He
worked as a Vice President in the corporate investment industry in
Canada and the United States before starting an executive training
company which later became Dragonbridge.
• Dragonbridge provides cross-cultural training and preparation for
their clients’ executives and staff in Canada. It’s not just about
protocol and correct behavior in a foreign culture but a complete
understanding of your own cultural style and how to interpret the
behavior and communications of others. When you understand
how other people feel and think, you increase your effectiveness in
persuading, managing and advising. We also teach body language,
dining etiquette, presentation and communication skills.
• Dragonbridge has fulfilled mandates in China, Canada, Europe, the
United States and Singapore.
What you will learn
 Business success in an increasingly globalized
environment demands better cross-cultural
skills.
 Well intentioned and seasoned professionals
fail when they underestimate (or choose to
ignore) cultural differences.
 These differences affect what a person means
when they deliver a communication and also
how they interpret your communications.
 These skills are vital whether your business
involves training, selling, managing,
persuading or counseling.
 This is vital to working with people from
another culture abroad, by virtual
communications or in multicultural teams
right here.
 You will have the chance to do your own
“cross cultural awareness” quiz and see your
score.
 An interesting case study for group discussion
will also highlight the learning points.
