We promote excellence, and work to break the perception that refined social skills is a luxury.
Through an interactive and engaging learning experience, we help our clients to distinguish themselves by raising their Social Intelligence, enabling them to float from one situation to the other with ease and confidence, while building fruitful relationships with people from different cultures.
We are not a training centre and we do not offer any public courses. We work directly with businesses - large and small - and with government organisations as well as individuals. We value the individuality of people, acceptance of the other and mutual respect.
In line with Yarnu’s bespoke approach and focus on helping organisations build and strengthen a corporate culture that is capable of delivering the desired results, in July 2016, Yarnu partnered with iPsychTec (formerly Alderbrooke Group). Using the CultureScope® tool to scientifically measure behaviour, we provide decision makers with detailed and focused solutions to a variety of issues. We work together to build a culture that enables organisations to attract and retain their ideal employees and achieve their ultimate objectives.
YARNU is the first in the region to specialize in Social and Inter-Cultural Intelligence for the Middle East. We follow a personalised, practical approach based on "YARNU’s 4Ds" methodology to ensure that we meet the requirements of our multi-cultural clients.
Our experienced team of topic experts and our flexible and practical approach enable us to conduct our sessions at a variety of venues.
