ACC EuropeDescription
In an increasingly globalised world, in-house counsel often find themselves becoming “jurisdiction jumpers” — whether moving to another country, working across borders, or leading international teams.
Join us for an engaging and informative session where ACC members will share their experiences living and working in other countries, and the strategies and skills they have developed to excel in cross-border environments, as well as a few anecdotes along the way. We’ll have insights linked to Belgium, Georgia, Italy, the Netherlands, South Africa, Sweden, the UK and the USA, among others.
Key topics will include:
• Adapting to a new culture. Culture shock is a thing, so what can you expect when you first arrive somewhere new, and how can you adapt successfully – both personally and professionally?
• Thriving somewhere new. Different countries are not just about jurisdictions, but also (often subtle) cultural differences – how people like their coffee, how directly they express opinions, how they engage with seniors leaders. Discover how you can find out what works in different cultures so you can thrive anywhere.
• Leading international teams. Whether you’re leading an international team or aspire to a leadership role, discover best practices that foster collaboration across different cultural contexts.
