In this fireside chat-style interview, we talk about the challenges and opportunities of clever communication to embrace experts of all generations. We discuss the contrasts between direct and indirect cultures, including the Brit's fascination with small talk and why they do it. We also touch on language mirroring, presenting in heels and much more. Oops! Longer than usual, so take your time and join us for a chat about communication and intercultural awareness in international business. Vocabulary via my newsletter.
