Leadership Island Style® for Newcomers
July 6 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
A “MUST DO” WORKSHOP FOR ANYONE NEW TO HAWAII
Doing business in Hawaii is not the same as anywhere else. Significantly influenced by three cultures – East, West and Polynesia – failure to understand and embrace Hawaii’s cultural nuances and island style behaviors could lead to rejection, ineffectiveness and failure. The sooner newcomers understand this unique island environment and are able to adapt, the greater their chances for successfully leading their teams.
Leadership Island Style® for Newcomers is a must-do workshop for anyone who has recently moved to Hawaii and is starting a new job or business career.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Born and raised in Hilo, Hawaii and having spent over four decades helping leaders and organizations succeed throughout the Pacific, leadership expert, Glenn Furuya, will teach participants how to navigate their new island home and business climate by:
- Equipping them with the necessary tools to thrive as a leader within the cultural framework of Hawaii.
- Imparting valuable insights regarding the individuals with whom you will engage in this region.
- Providing guidance into the cultural and behavioral tendencies of the local community to foster positive engagement.
- Sharing three key attributes of “Aloha” that can help them build trust and gain endorsement in an island setting.
Additionally, participants will have an opportunity to hear from a co-facilitator, who will share their experience of successfully transitioning from the Continental U.S. to Hawaii.
Time will also be provided for open discussion and participant Q&A.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Anyone new to Hawaii that is leading a team, opening a business or just wants to better understand our unique island business culture.
