York Associates

York Associates offers high quality, flexible and customised training and coaching services to its clients in the private and public sectors across the world.

Our training aims to develop people for their international role by improving performance in four key areas:

	Language We train people to use English effectively in their international work.
	Communication We develop people’s professional communication skills in areas like clear speaking, effective listening, rapport building and influencing, and for key situations such as international meetings, negotiations and presentations.
	Intercultural and interpersonal We improve people’s awareness and skills to manage differences in working style arising from personality and cultural background.
	International teamwork and leadership We develop people’s ability to deal with the challenges of working in international teams and being successful in an international leadership role.

We deliver training both in the UK and abroad. At our centre in York the main focus is our English and international communication training courses. Abroad we focus more on International team and leadership seminars.

York Associates also runs trainer training workshops and publishes materials for trainers working in the field of intercultural communication.

We also produce a range of publications including books, CD ROMs, DVDs and audio material designed to help people working internationally develop their professional skills.
