The phrase "nationally mixed audience" is used because this coaching and training specifically addresses issues arising when the instructor or presenter is from one nation, and the learners/listeners are in/from one or more different nations.

IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: 
This body of knowledge is not a derivative or variation of the U.S. "multicultural education" or "diversity" perspectives.  Dr Grove's approach has different roots and reaches different, sometimes contrary, conclusions about "what, therefore, to do."
 
 

Individual Coaching:  When delivered as coaching, Dr. Grove's Toolkit is quite flexible, and may be accomplished by telephone or face-to-face.  All work is focused on building the coachee's awareness and "stand-up" skills relevant to his or her self-identified need.  For example, a potential coachee might say, "I'll soon be giving business presentations in Asia; should I do anything differently?"  The answer is "yes" and the coaching would focus on what he/she should do differently in Asia, and why. 

The duration of this coaching ranges upwards from two hours.  All coaching is provided by Dr. Grove himself.  Minimum fee: $500 plus expenses.

Group Training:  When delivered as training, Dr. Grove's Toolkit takes the form of an interactive 2-day workshop.  It delivers a quick boost in effectiveness for business trainers, facilitators, and presenters (and others in a classroom instructor's role) who face groups of people in or from unfamiliar nations.  Benefits include...

• Understanding a Framework for classifying knowledge-transfer methods worldwide.
• Appreciation of value-rationales underlying the various presentation methods
• More accurate expectations of the learning styles of foreign trainees/listeners.
• Better ability to situationally shift one's instructional methods to fit the audience.
• Overall, increased success in knowledge- and skill-transfer to learners from abroad.

• Flat fee of $7,000 plus expenses covers all services (Note 1).
• Standardized manual of 90+ pages for each participant (Note 2).
• Workshop is held at your chosen location; GROVEWELL's trainer travels (Note 3).
• The standard workshop may occur, schedules permitting, within one week.
• Individual coaching and mentoring may occur during/after the workshop.

"Your presentation was fantastic and I greatly appreciated the validation I received for the things I have done in the past.  Currently, my assignment involves facilitation of meetings with people from a variety of cultures, and your information was extremely helpful.  You have a real supporter here at [Fortune 100 Corporation] and I am recommending this presentation to everyone."

Learning styles are often thought of as being congenitally-given mental learning pathways that are unique to each individual, a view that frames the conversation entirely in terms of "nature" (i.e., what one was born with).  Dr. Grove believes that "nurture" – i.e., an individual's experiences from earliest childhood within the cultural context of his or her group – also plays a role in the development of his or her preferred learning styles.

Dr. Grove believes that, whatever may be true regarding one's congenitally-given learning pathways, his/her preferred learning styles will also be shaped by the culture, and especially the classroom culture, in which he or she was nurtured while growing from early childhood to adulthood. 

Dr. Grove's "Toolkit" training is not at all hostile to conversations about individuals' unique learning styles.  Rather, it supplements and enrichens those conversations by viewing learning styles in cross-cultural perspective.
