CULTURE AS AN INCLUSIVE TERM
PAPTAKE assists clients in developing multiple perspectives that would allow them to understand intercultural relationships in various ways. Diversity, equity and inclusion are not just about race and ethnicity. In addition, we define culture in terms of nationality, socio-economic class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, generation/age, physical exceptionality, and so on. PAPTAKE services are designed to bridge perceived gaps across cultures in any type of workplace: non-profits, K-12 schools, universities, health care providers, corporates, and governmental organizations.

CLIENT-CENTERED & CONTEXT-SPECIFIC
One size doesn’t fit all. That’s why we custom-design our professional development (PD) services according to the specific needs of each client. A FREE initial consultation lets us contextualize training content and learning materials, so training participants will find each session relevant to their job. Yes, we listen to clients very carefully – That is key to engineer a successful PD experience. Offering diversity training entitled “diversity training” is one approach.

VARIOUS TRAINING METHODS TO ACTIVATE YOUR “ABC”
Our sessions are dynamic. It’s because we never rely on a top-down lecture. We are trained and experienced to design and facilitate highly interactive sessions so participants will voluntarily stay alert - PAPTAKE training engages participant’s Affective reactions, Behavioral responses and Cognitive capacity. The methods we incorporate include Active/Experiential Learning, Inquiry-based Learning, Cooperative Learning, Multi-sensory Learning, Simulation Games, and Cross-cultural Training exercises. So trust us, it won’t be boring!

EXPERTISE
KNOWING INTO DOING
There are two kinds of skill categories: content skill (WHAT you do) and process skill (HOW you do it,) and PAPTAKE consultants are PROCESS SKILL experts. While many organizations prioritize their content development (services and products,) organizational members’ process skill development (managing diversity, positive interpersonal communications, etc.) is often put on a back burner. It is not rare that a manager just expects staff to “be nice to one another.” We all know that it’s good to be nice, but knowing and doing are not the same. Exercising on HOWs with PAPTAKE consultants will help turn your abstract knowledge into practical actions.
RESEARCH-BASED CONTENT
PAPTAKE consultants are knowledgeable about and have experience conducting research studies regarding Intercultural Competencies and Communication, Multicultural Education, Educational Administration, Educational Reform, Strategic Management, and Managerial Psychology. PAPTAKE consultants are also well prepared to introduce real-life experiences of crossing cultures to illustrate research-based concepts and theories. Evidence-based knowledge coupled with concrete examples makes learning more accessible.
