Leadership Island Style® for Newcomers

October 4 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

A “MUST DO” WORKSHOP FOR ANYONE NEW TO HAWAI’I

Doing business in Hawai’i is not the same as anywhere else. Whether you’re leading a team, launching a business, or simply navigating the intricacies of your new island home, success in Hawai’i’s diverse and challenging environment requires more than just good intentions.

Significantly influenced by three cultures – East, West and Polynesia –  failure to understand and embrace Hawai’i’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.

That’s why we created Leadership Island Style® for Newcomers – a must-do workshop for anyone who has recently moved to Hawai’i and is starting a new job or business career, offered October 4, 2024.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Born and raised in Hilo, Hawai’i and having spent over four decades helping leaders and organizations succeed throughout the Pacific, renowned 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 Hawai’i.
  • 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 Hawai’i. 

Time will also be provided for open discussion and participant Q&A.

“Leadership Island Style for Newcomers is wonderful training to deepen your understanding of business culture, and overall culture in Hawai’i. As a new leader to the Hawai’i market, I found the teachings and content provided by Glenn and Debbie invaluable in navigating social norms and workplace culture. I highly recommend working with the team at Leadership Works as you find success in Hawai’i’s uniquely challenging environment, they will expedite the process.” – Molly Johnston, Vice President of Development, American Heart Association – Hawai’i Chapter
