Coaching by - Dominique Lion
When senior executives do business with international counterparts they can sometimes be faced with the task of communicating in a different language, responding to un-stated expectations, and working with people whose ways of thinking, behaving and communicating don't reflect their own cultural background.
We provide a selection of outcome-focused executive coaching programmes for people involved in international business. Each coaching package is designed to guide and support executives throughout the cultural adaptation process, whether on overseas assignment, dealing with clients from another culture, or when joining or managing an international team.
We will provide the framework you need to understand the impact of culture in business, and help you devise and implement appropriate action plans to meet your professional and personal goals in interacting with international colleagues and clients.
Coaching sessions are held on-site at your offices. Coaching can consist of a single session, or a structured series of coaching sessions build around 360° feedback spaced to allow for on-the-job application of new skills and strategies. Executive coaching can deliver the following benefits:
Improved cultural self-awareness
Improved adaptation to working in different cultural environments
More effective communication with overseas clients and colleagues
Enhanced team leadership and management skills
Improved credibility with overseas counterparts
Better cross-cultural relationships

Keynotes - Guest Speaker - Dominique Lion
As a keynote speaker, Dominique addresses critical cultural diversity subjects in a clear and concise manner that is easy for his audiences to not only understand, but also to immediately apply what they have learned to their personal lives as well as their work. Dominique uses his twenty plus years of global business experience as a basis for sharing his tried and true solutions to today's business challenges. Using illustrations, examples and stories, Dominique challenges his audiences to look at life through a much broader viewpoint than most people and to embrace the opportunities before them.
Whether addressing a room full of senior executives or first line staff, he enables his audiences to gain a strategic understanding and increased tactical capability to successfully respond to their ever changing environment. Dominique truly enjoys helping people and that is what drew him into professional speaking and consulting. Each keynote speech is an opportunity to impact people positively and to change their perceptions, especially those which limit their personal and professional growth. Beginning each keynote from “a clean sheet of paper” rather than a stock or canned speech text, Dominique seeks to maximize the outcomes and return on investment for his clients.

The Human Conduct - Guest Speaker - Dominique Lion
For companies, simply having a vision and a mission is no longer enough because people can see whether our behaviour is consistent with this vision and mission we set out. The result is that we have begun to judge people and companies in different ways. We now expect a higher level of transparency and understanding from everyone and every company. In this new world, we need to be actively looking at ways to specifically making a difference.
How we do what we do will represent the next frontier of powerful differentiation. The qualities that many once thought of as soft: trust, integrity and honesty are now the hard currency of business success and the ultimate drivers of efficiency, productivity and profitability. The way you connect with your people, business partners and others will reduce the risk you take, enhance the customer’s experience and help your executives exert greater influence over a highly decentralised global workforce; this will ultimately lower your costs and boost your revenues.
Let’s win together and make real use of the available knowledge out there and evolve our networks of associations.

International communications Guest Speaker - Dominique Lion
When senior executives do business with international counterparts they can sometimes be faced with the task of communicating in a different language, responding to unspecified expectations, and working with people whose ways of thinking, behaving and communicating do not reflect their own cultural background. An extremely good understanding of your “customers” in today’s world is a necessity. Your customer is not only the person who buys from you, but the person that will promote your brand and thus give continuity to your existence. If you want to deliver a message, promote a service and prepare your company for the future, efficient and effective communication is the answer.
Dominique Lion provides a selection of outcome-focused executive coaching programmes for people involved in international business. Each coaching package is designed to guide and support executives throughout the process, whether on overseas assignment, dealing with clients from another culture, or when joining or managing an international team.
Executive communication and presentation coaching can deliver many benefits. From improving your cultural self awareness to adaptation to working in different environments, gaining more effective communication skills to dealing with overseas clients and colleagues, it will also enhance your team leadership and management skills. Improving your communication skills will also enhance your credibility with your counterparts.
One of Dominique’s key roles is to assist and coach, both individually, and then collectively as a team, the preparation and delivery of oral presentations. He has much experience in this sphere and has a proven track record, having coached sales teams to win major bids around the world. He has references thanking him and giving him the credit for playing a key role in helping their teams to win important contracts.
Coaching sessions can be held on-site at your offices or at a preferred location. Coaching can consist of a single session, or a structured series of coaching sessions built around feedback spaced to allow for on-the-job application of new skills and strategies.

A Global Challenge - Guest Speaker - Dominique Lion
A global challenge
In time, it's probably inevitable that your organization will grow more culturally diverse, and this reality calls for a change of attitudes, strategies and methods. When we think about multi-cultural issues in the 21st century, we're not talking about non-discrimination or equal opportunity. We're talking about using multiple cultural backgrounds as competitive tools.
People's culture, age, and gender make them see the world in different ways. These perspectives are a key to creative thinking, and that, in turn, is the key to successful R&D.
We must stop seeing diversity as a problem, and start seeing it as an advantage. To succeed, organisations must understand and use the skills, traditions and backgrounds of a diverse workforce.
In reality, diversity gives businesses a key advantage in the world marketplace. Our wider range of viewpoints offers a spectrum of talents—meticulous craftsmanship, for example—which can improve many aspects of product and process research.
Most of us have weathered economic storms before, but nobody has ever seen anything like this. Forget the Asian financial meltdown of 1997, the dot-com implosion of 2000-2001, the blistering financial scandals of 2002 (Enron, WorldCom, etc), and the three-year, post 9/11 global recession that finally abated in 2003. Sure, plenty of shirts –and trillions of dollars – were lost back then. But the current financial crisis makes all these other episodes look like storms in a tea-cup. With seemingly invincible financial institutions crumbling into dust, share indexes the world over in a freefall of historic proportions, and the global economy in the emergency room, what exactly are we supposed to do?
New markets are being created out there, with a very different culture to the one of greed and power, a market that believes in the value of a long term customer. Let’s embrace variety and gain from it.
