How cultural awareness and power skills can boost global teamwork

Is ‘Latin Time’ causing delays in meetings with your colleagues from Latin America?

Ever wondered why asking, “Is it clear?” often leads to more confusion than clarity?

Or why small talk is such a big deal in the U.S., but barely exists in places like Norway?

If any of these scenarios sound familiar, you’re not alone. As the world becomes more interconnected, the importance of cross-cultural communication and leadership skills is undeniable. Over the past three years, since moving to the U.S., I’ve noticed a rising demand from our clients for training that goes beyond language and technical expertise. More and more companies are seeking help with power skills—mainly the cultural and communication competencies that truly make a difference in how teams function.

We’ve been listening to these needs and have been busy developing programs to address them. Today, I’m excited to announce the launch of Techville—a new service from English For IT?, designed to help teams and leaders unlock their full potential by mastering the power skills essential to success in today’s global workplace.

Techville helps unlock the power of cultural and soft skills for yourself and your teams

The biggest challenges teams face aren’t about coding, data, or project management—they’re about communication, cultural awareness, and emotional intelligence. These skills—often referred to as “soft skills” but better described as power skills—are critical for any team’s success.

Through our extensive work with tech professionals and companies across various industries, we’ve developed two flagship programs to tackle these challenges: Cultural Affinity and Power Skills for Success. These programs are designed to help teams and leaders improve the way they collaborate, communicate, and lead, across any industry.

Our programs are tailored for teams and leaders

Our offerings at Techville are flexible, designed to meet the needs of both individuals and teams. Whether you’re a startup looking to build better team dynamics or a large enterprise aiming to strengthen leadership skills, we have the right program for you. Our formats include:

Executive coaching for personalized leadership development

Team coaching to foster stronger collaboration and communication

Self-paced learning through our online platform

Live workshops, either online or in-person, for interactive learning experiences

We’ve already delivered these programs to companies of all sizes—from startups to large enterprises—and the results have been transformative. Teams are working more efficiently, leaders are communicating with greater clarity, and businesses are thriving in a diverse, globalized environment.

Transforming communication across industries

While Techville was born out of our deep experience in the tech sector, our programs go beyond just tech. From healthcare to finance to logistics, companies across industries have benefited from our customized learning programs. These programs are designed to help teams not only solve problems faster but also collaborate more effectively and communicate with greater clarity—skills that are crucial in today’s fast-paced world.

For executives, our one-on-one coaching provides valuable insights into improving decision-making, developing a strong leadership presence, and communicating with teams more effectively. We focus on actionable strategies that leaders can implement right away to see tangible improvements in how their teams operate.

Our mission is to help you building stronger teams and better leaders

At the heart of Techville is a simple vision: to equip teams and leaders with the power skills they need to succeed. As the founder, I’ve seen firsthand how mastering these skills transforms not just teams, but entire companies.

By building stronger, more empathetic teams and empowering more effective leaders, businesses can achieve better results and foster a more inclusive and productive work environment.
