Beyond Chocolate by Margaret Oertig-Davidson
Go beyond Swiss chocolate, beyond the initial fun and adventure of a new country and a new career to immerse yourself in the cultural attitudes of Switzerland's fascinating, multi-faceted society. These thought-provoking insights are based on extensive interviews with Swiss and international people who know well the ups and downs of life in Switzerland. These observations enable newcomers to better understand the perspectives of their Swiss neighbours, friends and international business colleagues. Margaret Oertig-Davidson conducts seminars at international Swiss companies and universities as an expert on relations between Swiss and English-speaking cultures. This engaging study exposes different attitudes and potential misunderstandings about friendship, neighbourliness, being professional, giving and getting compliments and criticism, parenting, schooling, being polite, entertaining, negotiating, decision making, business etiquette, team work, leadership, making plans, and much much more.
Margaret Oertig, MA, MEd, originates from Scotland and has lived and worked in Switzerland since 1987. She has wored for many years as an intercultural communication trainer for companies in Switzerland and abroad. Since 2002, she has been a lecturer at the School of Business of the University of Applied Sciences, Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW). Margaret has a Swiss husband and two adult daughters.
