The Berlitz Advantage

130+ years of knowledge in

building practical skills...

For more than 130 years,

Berlitz has been enabling

business professionals to

build the practical skills

required for global

interactions through an

immersion method.

...in combination with

business leadership insights

from around the world

We have combined this

practical, methodical

focus on skills with

industry thought leadership

from around the world to

create a unique global leader-

ship development experience.

Reality-based immersion

through the worldwide

resources of Berlitz

This experience

combines the best of

academic insights with the

practical, reality-based

immersion philosophy

possible only through the

worldwide resources of

Berlitz.

We don’t “teach” leader-ship; we enable a reality-based discovery of leadership through real-life challenges, cases and problem solving.

“The program was more practical than any university course. The facilitators had more freedom to create unique experiences around cross- cultural communication.”

Global Orientations

A Reality-Based Discovery of Leadership

ing results under challenging

What Participants Have Said About Global Orientations Programs

“This course was the most insightful course I have ever taken. The course, led by extremely experienced and intelligent facilita-tors, completely changed my perception of China and what it means to be a leader.”

“The program was very refined and fully engaged the participants. I imagined that the lectures would be passive, but in reality the facili-tators helped us deeply consider the topics and ideas. By thinking about how they relate to our own situations, the program was actually quite positive and engaging.”

“The program was more practical than any university course. The facilitators had more freedom to create unique ex-periences around cross-cultural communication.”

“This very unique program exceeded my expectations. It helped me to put my overseas experience into a deeper context. The facilitators weren’t teaching from a text book, but rather drew upon their own experience. ”

With more than 500 locations in over 70 countries around the globe, and its extensive worldwide base of clients,

Berlitz is uniquely placed to offer Global Leadership Training with a worldwide footprint. Many organizations

seeking to invest in the development of their Global Leadership capabilities have in the past been unable to truly

deploy a comprehensive, consistent development program around the world, due to the localized or non-global

presence of traditional providers. Millions of individuals have been prepared by Berlitz for international assignments

and experiences; Berlitz Global Leadership Training now represents a single, globally available suite of learning

experiences for clients.
