Upon embassy request, Ms Pirrotti Hummel can present anywhere in the world.
THE UNIVERSAL CONSENSUS SOLUTION – STATE DEPRTMENT SPEAKER AND SPECIALIST PROGRAM
Universal Consensus draws upon its proprietary and empirically-tested Business Model of Intercultural Analysis© [BMIA] to help individuals from other nations effectively interact. Universal Consensus has helped businesses from outside the U.S. understand how to attract the American consumer. Foreign companies and governments have also enlisted Universal Consensus to help them refine their strategies for enhancing business opportunities with American companies.
Universal Consensus has cross-culturally trained businesses and government agencies that are either working with a culturally diverse workforce or serving customers and constituents from other nations. This program gives businesses and government agencies the opportunity to learn the BMIA and use it to drive efficiencies.
The anticipated outcome depends on the objectives of the business or institution, but is generally designed to:
- Enhance inter-cultural communication.
- Improve conflict resolution across cultures.
- Move all involved toward a “global mindset” that can be utilized in every aspect of service.
- Demonstrate culturally neutral methods of presenting information.
- Explain how culture impacts written and verbal communication.
- Understand and apply the etiquette and protocol of a nation or culture, when appropriate.
- Improve presentation skills geared for the target culture.

Whatever your problems with intercultural communication, Universal Consensus can help.
There is no substitute for optimal international business skills in the form of cross cultural competence. Failure to optimize cross cultural communication skills creates intercultural communication barriers from which your business may not recover.
Implement the necessary intercultural communication training and fix any gaps, and your company will be at the cutting edge of business optimization across cultures, making the competition obsolete.
