Every interpersonal interaction is shaped by cultural norms and expectations. Seldom is this more clearly brought to light than when we work with clients from a cultural background different from ours. Dissimilar communication practices may lead to frustration, misunderstanding, and even conflict.
“Intercultural Communication Highwire” will explore diverse communication styles and behaviors and highlight blind spots and learn different ways to prevent faux-pas and mistakes.
