For many years Mr. Zitterbart has extensively travelled throughout Asia and accompanied travel study groups on their exploratory tours through the Peoples Republic of China, Hong Kong, Pakistan and Russia.

Whilst researching themes for his dissertation on negotiation conflicts between Germans and Chinese, Mr. Zitterbart successfully conducted multiple day cross-cultural workshops on -working with the Chinese,- negotiating with the Chinese,- intercultural conflict management and knowledge transfer when working with Chinese partners.

Also workshops were hosted in the Mandarin language on behalf of Chinese staff (co-workers) on (short term) assignments to Germany focussing on (the) German culture, German communication style and intercultural teambuilding.

Mr. Zitterbart is fluent in Chinese, German and English.
His flexibility, thorough preparation and excellent communication skills make it a pleasure to work with Mr. Zitterbart.
