This week’s theme: Culture Crossing
In today’s fast-moving world, where people, ideas, and businesses connect across borders daily, culture crossing is no longer optional—it’s essential. Every interaction with someone from a different background carries the potential for either meaningful connection or unintended miscommunication, also known as a culture crash.
This methodology fosters self-awareness, revealing how culture subtly shapes perceptions, expectations, and behaviors. Through engaging stories, practical insights, and self-assessment exercises, individuals can break free from kneejerk reactions and adapt their communication styles for greater success—whether in the office, on a video call, or across international markets. Michael Landers, a global business consultant, provides a roadmap to help individuals and organizations bridge cultural gaps.
