Last week we defined culture shock as the accumulated disorientation from culturally stressful events. This week, we go deeper into the topic - exploring the difference between culture shock and culture stress and healthy ways people navigate culture shock.
Also discussed - how many symptoms do international workers typically experience and the impact of not addressing culture shock.
Stephen and Jennie Jones join us again as we work through Stephen´s book Transitions Across Cultures and his Cross Cultural Transition Handbook.
The challenges of culture shock are real! Be sure to check out some of the additional resources in the show notes.
