Our approach to developing excellent Future Skills 

“We have various formats. We're very flexible, very agile. First of all, we speak to our customers and ask them all about their needs, but then we also ask about what kind of training courses would be successful. So that could be everything from microlearning, blended learning, full day face to face training, half day virtual training. So we're very flexible and we choose the programmes that fit into the working days of our participants.”

— Tracy Schreiber, Head of Sales & Strategy

Training, Coaching & Consulting

Training focuses on acquiring new skills. In contrast, coaching involves working more closely with participants to focus on their existing competencies. The goal is to identify strengths and develop them further together. 

Consulting, on the other hand, involves working with you to find different solutions for individual challenges in your daily work. Co-creation is our recipe for success in empowering your employees.

Why Intercultural Empathy matters 

“For us at ICUnet, we're looking at future skills as something that aids international collaboration that brings people across borders closer. And it's to do with cultural agility, for example. It's to do with inclusive leadership. It's to do with working in hybrid teams, having an understanding for each other. And one of my personal favorites, which is probably not written up big enough at the moment, is empathy. It's people that are going to remember you for how you dealt with them, how you treated them, how you dealt with their country. And that for me is empathy. And that’s a future skill. I know of several top executives that have failed in business, although they had perfect language skills and expertise. But we're lacking something. And I think the bit they were lacking is empathy.”


— Marinda Seisenberger, Head of Training, Coaching & Consulting
