Ease your Way into your French Working Life with Sarah Leibovitz-Dambre 

Have you heard of the “Paris Syndrome”? This deep sense of disappointment exhibited by some individuals visiting the French capital when discovering that their idealized expectations aren’t met? My workshop is about how to bypass the effects of a larger phenomenon we could call the “French syndrome” (i.e., a severe form of culture shock in response to France in general and its working culture).  

You have never heard of a “French syndrome”? And you don’t see how you could fall prey to this one as you’ve been relocated in the idyllic and laid-back south of France AND you’ve read somewhere that the French have work-life balance down. 

Don’t get me wrong! Working with the French is usually a wonderful experience provided you know a few things about power and group dynamics, communication and socializing styles in the French workplace. Wherever you land in France, my advice to you is to come prepared!   

Target group 

This workshop is for everyone who wants to gain a keen understanding of how to build successful relations and thrive in a French professional or business environment. 

Learning objectives: 

During the workshop you will:

• Recognize your own expectations and the values (personal & cultural) behind them 
• Identify the cultural differences that inform power and team dynamics and communication habits in France in general
• Learn practical tips to reconcile your differences with those of the French company you have joined
