English at work
English is and will remain the primary language used by Dames to communicate outside the country,
both privately and professionally.
One of GlobalDenmark's core competencies is teaching how to communicate professionally in English.
English courses for business
In many workplaces, English has become part of everyday life. You may work in an international organization and have colleagues from all over the world or collaborate with external partners abroad.
Despite the growing trend of English being spoken in many Danish workplaces, many people still feel a little insecure when using English in a professional and business context.
That's why Global Denmark offers courses that target communication in English in business and other professional contexts, so you can be confident in English and appear more professional and credible.
The objective of the different courses is to enhance your English skills so that you are able to handle business situations with the same professionalism and credibility as you do in your mother tongue.
Our English courses focus on communication in business and other professional contexts, and are therefore based on the everyday situations you encounter in your work. The courses focus on strengthening your ability to collaborate in an international working environment and they include topics such as negotiation, chairing meetings, presentation skills and business English.
English in the workplace
If you regularly work with international customers and partners, it is essential that you are able to communicate clearly and understandably.
The English in the Workplace course is aimed at administrative employees, such as secretaries, service staff, call center employees, front desk staff and others who want to improve their oral and written communication skills with foreign customers, colleagues and business partners.
The course is practical and action-oriented and provides you with a handful of language tools that will make you more proficient in English in your specific field of work.
Business English
The course 'Business English' will give you the opportunity to practise your English skills so you become more confident working in an international environment.
This course is for those who work in an international environment and who may already use English on a daily basis - but who want to improve their oral and written English to feel more confident and secure. You will have the opportunity to practice your English skills and learn to communicate more accurately and with more nuance in the field you work in.
International negotiation: Government focus
Clear and salient communication is important when negotiating on behalf of a agency, committee or ministry.
This course will give you an overview of formal and informal negotiation techniques and train you in decoding signals, understanding where the negotiation is going and making decision that will best protect your mandate.
International negotiation: Business focus
This is a course for anyone who needs to lead or participate in negotiations in English with international customers, partners, etc.
A cross-cultural negotiation situation is complex and requires a balanced interplay between language skills, cultural knowledge and negotiation techniques. Bring proficient in English is not enough if you want to achieve international success for yourself and your company. It is crucial to be well prepared for the international and cross-cultural negotiation situation, and that is where we come in.
We use real-life cases and exercises to make you more confident in a negotiation. Our courses in 'International negotiation - Business focus' are aimed at both managers and employees who negotiate on behalf of a company.
Presentations in English
A course in presentation techniques is relevant for anyone who needs to present their knowledge and important messages in front of an audience.
For many people who work in an international and cross-cultural environment, being able to give presentations and speeches in English is a natural part of the job.
Our English presentation skills course is relevant for managers, employees, researchers and teachers who want to improve their presentation skills in English.
You will receive practical training in improvising and presenting short speeches and presentations in English. Your personal presentation technique will be developed through language workshops and personal feedback, where we will guide you and fine-tune your English.
Efficient meetings
Do you participate in too many meetings, in meetings that are too long, or perhaps in meetings that are wholly unimportant? Then this is the course for you.
Running an efficient and relevant meeting that generates real value for participants and the organisation itself is not necessarily an easy task. Meetings easily become too long and occasionally pointless. It is important that participants are left in no doubt about the value and relevance of the meeting once it's over. That's why we've put together a course that gives you the tools to run a meeting that has value for all parties.
We provide
Courses and workshops
We offer courses and workshops that can be held at our premises in Frederiksberg or at your location, and we tailor courses to suit you, your colleagues or your organization.
Consultancy
Why not draw on GlobalDenmark's experience the next time you are attending an international event? We can advise you through the entire international project or negotiation process or just part of it depending on your needs.
Coaching
Good coaching is when you - and not the coach - finds the way forward. A good coach will help you figure out what you need to do. Through exercises and observations, your coach will help you make progress and reach your goals.
What we do
Culture and language are closely linked, which is why we always work with what we call "the three languages" when communicating in an international context:
- the language in which you think and understand the world, typically your mother tongue
- the language in which you communicate internationally, typically English
- the language your recipient uses to decode you
We work with English in a variety of contexts, such as presentations to international audiences, negotiations and English in day-to-day collaboration with international colleagues and business partners.
We can provide all our courses in Danish or English, and they can be tailored to you or your organisation.
