​
Background
Signe has served as a diplomat for over 20 years and has returned to a Denmark where identity matters more than ever, and conflicts between colleagues and generations have taken on new significance.
In her talks, Signe speaks about how Danes can improve their approach to diversity without compromising our work joy or culture. This applies not only to new international employees but also in relation to different social backgrounds, religions, skin colors, genders, or attitudes.
​
On a daily basis, she is a leadership coach for international and Danish leaders in Denmark who experience the intersection of cultures in practice.
​
Practical examples
Signe has numerous examples from her daily practice and has conducted a research project on integrating international talent into Danish companies and organizations.
Research shows that in Denmark, equality is a key value in society. Danes are close to being world champions in equality. ​However, sometimes the pursuit of equality can overshadow recognizing the differences between us and discussing the role these differences should play in workplaces.
​
National culture and organisational culture
Signe Biering's talks will provide a deeper understanding of how national culture can impact workplace culture when it comes to diversity. She talks about why diversity benefits your organization and how you can best achieve success through embracing your employees' cultural differences - while respecting the Danish cultural traits, such as valuing equality.
​
What does diversity do to us?
Diversity is a catalyst for innovation and success, but the differences can be challenging in reality, whether they stem from different countries, generations, professional backgrounds, personalities or religions.
​
Signe will help you understand the secret behind successful cross-cultural collaboration, helping you to navigate through differences with a sense of equanimity. She discusses how you can enhance your cultural understanding, strengthen communication, and build robust relationships.
​
Differences can help you recognize the strengths in collaboration. At the same time, these differences can encourage openness about what each individual wants to achieve. Successful collaboration begins with strong and trusting relationships.
The diversity in your workplace can make professional sense while also contributing to a positive work environment and building trust.
​
Practical tools
Gain tools to discuss differences so that they don't become problems but instead become a strength in collaboration. Signe Biering's presentation will provide you with an opportunity to understand the secrets of successful cross-cultural collaboration and learn how to strengthen professional relationships across diverse backgrounds. All Signe's talks and workshops are tailored to your particular requirements - during an initial consultation Signe will often propose two or three different options for talks and workshops, to ensure that you get exactly what you and your organisation needs.
