Planning on moving into a new market or expanding in an existing one? Cultural, communication and currency barriers are amongst the top cited challenges for International Traders, new and seasoned.

Gerry Higgins, Communicating Culture (LinkedIn)

The way in which we are familiar with communicating and doing business “at home“ can be very different from the way it is done in an International Market.

Knowing the cultural preferences, being aware of the use of language and gestures, understanding how to approach negotiations and business discussions are all valuable tools to have when navigating our way to success in different cultures .

This is why having Intercultural awareness and having a skill set to capitalise on this awareness is so important in today’s “small” world.

Having lived and worked in 9 Countries in Asia, Africa and Europe, Gerry Higgins is eager to leverage his International management experience to help guide organisations and individuals through the maze of cultures in today’s global business world .

Niall Handy, Moneycorp (LinkedIn)

Learning how to mitigate currency risks and fine-tune your existing hedging & International payment strategies will help you overcome the obstacles and manage the risks when entering new (or expanding in existing) markets.
