Brazil ↔ Middle East

Business crosses borders. Trust crosses cultures.

Jihane has lived between these two worlds. Today, she prepares leaders and organizations to operate between Brazil and the Middle East with cultural insight, presence and protocol.

What changes across cultures

The differences that are rarely spoken — and always noticed.

Understanding these codes is what turns a first meeting into a relationship of trust.

  • Formality

    When the approach is personal and when it is institutional.

  • Hospitality

    The role of hospitality in building trust.

  • Hierarchy

    Who speaks, who decides and in what order.

  • Communication

    What is said, what is suggested and what remains implicit.

  • Attire

    Appropriate dress codes for each setting and occasion.

  • Conduct

    Gestures, timing and posture in meetings and receptions.

  • Professional relationships

    The time of the relationship comes before the time of the deal.

Who it's for

For those who need to operate
between both markets.

  • Brazilian companies entering the Middle East
  • Executives in international meetings or missions
