A workshop entitled Eliminating Cultural Barriers is to be conducted by Succeed in America’s Dr. Nara Venditti for non-US born members of Spiritist Society of Baltimore (SSD) to help them overcome cultural and linguistic barriers, succeed in the USA, and build strong relationships with their American members.
DANBURY, CT (PRWEB) October 5, 2006 -- On October 21, 2006, Eliminating Cultural Barriers is the title of the workshop to be presented by Dr. Nara Venditti, Founder and CEO of Succeed in America!, for the members of the SSD at their annual retreat at Harmony Farm in Parkton, Maryland. The Society’s membership is predominantly Brazilian and American.
The workshop’s goal is to boost cultural understanding, overcome language barrier, accelerate acculturation and provide tips on how to succeed in the USA. Special emphasis is given to English language issues, and intercultural respect that will strengthen the organization.
SUCCEED IN AMERICA is a Danbury, Connecticut, USA, based company which helps both the foreign-born workforce and U.S. and non-US organizations to gain mutual understanding and cooperation with issues, such as workplace communication, skilled labor, diversity, English language skills and employability. SUCCEED IN AMERICA has recently launched its new website http://www.SucceedinAmerica.com that contains descriptions of the workshops available, a directory http://www.succeedinamerica.com/directory.html and helpful articles http://www.succeedinamerica.com/articles.html and information on two newly released books http://www.succeedinamerica.com/books.html: Ameri$peak and How to Get a Job in the USA. These books should be a big help to someone who is not a native American.
The program was initiated by Dr. Vanessa Anseloni, President of the Society. Dr. Anseloni stated, “we are very excited to have Dr. Venditti present to our organization as she is well respected in the emerging field of business communication and career development for immigrants and foreign born. Dr. Venditti will share her hands-on experience as an educator who immigrated to this country only with 75 cents in her pocket and an immigrant who achieved the American Dream.”
Succeed in America Books
Ameri$peak™, is a mini-dictionary containing a list of the key words and expressions often spoken in the American business setting. This knowledge is essential to anyone who hopes to work in the US or who does business with Americans. It provides tips for reducing the accent and will help readers to create their own customized business vocabulary. Ameri$peak will also be valuable to call centers and help desks operating from India or other English-speaking countries that need to understand the creative play on words of many American terms in business English.
"This publication will go a long way to help non-native English speakers in understanding … the nuances of the English language. ...it should also be required reading for individuals with global responsibilities...'' says Richard Guenther, VP and GM, Unisys Global Infrastructure Services.
The second book How To Get A Job In The USA™ helps immigrants to compete successfully in the American job market. The book details each step of the job search process by providing explanations, glossaries, exercises, templates and instructions with emphasis on aspects of cultural differences and American business communication basics. It tells the reader what to do and what to say every step of the way in their job search. While the book is directed towards immigrants and foreign-born, it is useful for anyone who needs help with the job search process. The ultimate purpose of the book is to “jump start” acculturation and a cultural shift in foreign nationals and immigrants in understanding and accepting American values and to bring American employers and foreign born skilled workforce together. Among the testimonials is the endorsement from Susan Bysiewitz, Secretary of the State of Connecticut, Lou Ann Bloomer, president and CEO of TBICO (The Bridge to Independence and Career Opportunities) and Brigid Cahalan of the New York Public Library.
The books prices are $14.99 and $19.99 plus tax and $4 shipping/handling. They can be ordered from Succeed in America, PO 4724, Danbury, CT 06813-4724 or on-line at www.SucceedinAmerica.com.
