In this episode of the Building Thinkers Podcast, host Tracy Clark is joined by cross-cultural communication expert Paola Pascual, who shares her insights on effective communication across cultures and languages.

Listeners will learn about key mindset shifts and self-awareness techniques that can help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communication skills and even access more of their full selves in their non-native language. Paola also highlights the positive impact that a vibrant multicultural community can have on work and innovation efforts and what native English speakers can do to decrease linguistic bias in conversations and collaboration.

Throughout the episode, Paola draws from her own experiences and her current role at Talaera working with individuals and organizations across cultures, providing practical advice and strategies for improving cross-cultural communication.

Whether you are a non-native English speaker seeking to improve your communication skills or a professional working in a multicultural environment, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable tips for building effective communication skills across cultures.
