Cultural differences in business


Being a good international business person requires communication styles that take cultural differences into account….If you believe that it is adequate to have an attitude that everybody’s equal and “I treat everyone the same!” ….good luck to you!
We are NOT the same! We have different values and perceptions. Ever had a business meeting with a couple of Americans and a couple of Japanese? You might have found it was hard to get a word in edgeways with the Americans whereas it was difficult to ascertain whether the Japanese really had anything to say. Silence has a very different meaning culturally….for some, silence is an awkward embarrassing moment in a meeting which needs to be filled QUICK before anyone notices…for others, silence is a sign of respect and willingness to allow others to participate…..
Think about your most boisterous friend and your gentlest friend….would you behave in the same way with them at a business meeting?….the key lies in connecting at the same level of vibration …or wavelength….and respecting the DIFFERENCES in wavelength…..this is how Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques are applied to make strategic differences in the outcome of the meeting…what’s NLP?!
