Communication agility and Cultural relativity. France, Britain, Germany, Japan, and the US. With clients in the UK, Europe, and Asia, London-based Victoria Rennoldson works with (some American and) foreign clients who speak English but have trouble communicating at a high business level. Speaking ability does not guarantee understanding, especially in multicultural companies with interactive meetings. Instead, the key is training to overcome communication frustrations, understand the speaker’s voice tone and body language, and understand the cultural context of the speaker and the listener. Do others consider your communication rude, confrontational, pushy, or direct? In which country do people assume you are an idiot if you smile? Can you make meetings inclusive when speaking speed, humor, or references to past TV shows affect team cohesion? Victoria explores these often-unexplored issues that can make or break your international ventures.
