Fostering Global Connections Through Language Practice
As part its ongoing commitment to fostering global connections and encouraging cultural exchange—and driven by my deep passion for building bridges across cultures—Tea with PGBR and Té con PrimeGlobal have become key initiatives at PGBR, a proud Brazilian member firm of PrimeGlobal. These weekly meetings, designed to help participants practise languages in a friendly and supportive environment, have been met with widespread praise from both participants and leadership.
What is Tea With PGBR / Té con PrimeGlobal?
Tea With PGBR and Té con PrimeGlobal are simple yet powerful gatherings where participants can practise a specific language in a safe and relaxed environment.
The concept of Tea (English) began when I was working in a multinational Brazilian company and saw the value of creating a space for Brazilian, Latin American and non-native English-speaking colleagues to practise English. The idea proved to be so successful that when I joined PGBR, the leadership encouraged me to introduce Tea here as well. As I work with Jacqueline Campos, PrimeGlobal LATAM Chair, I realised that I needed to improve my Spanish, so the idea of Té con PrimeGlobal (Spanish) was born.
Benefits of Participating
Professional Development:
One of the key benefits of these sessions is the opportunity for professional growth. In today’s global business environment, mastering languages is a fundamental skill. These meetings provide a supportive space for participants to enhance their language skills, which is crucial for effective communication and collaboration in international business.
Networking and Cultural Exchange:
Another major benefit is the networking opportunities that arise from connecting with colleagues from around the world. The discussions during Tea
and Té allow us to exchange ideas, share perspectives, and learn about different cultures. This cultural exchange strengthens our global community and opens new pathways for collaboration.
Expansion of Business Opportunities:
By engaging with members across different countries, participants are prone to find new business opportunities and partnerships. As we build stronger relationships with PrimeGlobal members worldwide, the doors to new markets and collaborations continue to open.
