The world today is Globalized. We can often find ourselves in situations where we need to communicate effectively with people from different cultures. This is not just a necessity at work. It is highly likely that your neighbors or the people you socialize with come from different cultures.
In this episode, I chat with my good friend Gustavo Guillemin about Communicating Across Cultures. Gustavo is a published author, a Professor, and had delivered TEDTalks.
Gustavo and I share stories about times when we both made notable mistakes while communicating with people of different cultures.
Gustavo also shares the Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory. This is a framework for cross-cultural communication, developed by Geert Hofstede. It shows the effects of a society's culture on the values of its members, and how these values relate to behaviors, using a structure derived from factor analysis.
If you work or communicate with people from different cultures, you'll find this chat very informative.
