What makes a good communicator? What do people tend to get wrong about communicating with colleagues from the United States?


Join our host, Anna Kostecka, for a conversation with Karen Cvitkovich, a U.S. consultant, author, and facilitator with almost 20 years of experience in the intercultural field.


In this episode, Anna and Karen discuss:

  • What “good communication” really means across cultures
  • The difference between low-context and high-context cultures
  • How direct vs. indirect communication styles often cause misunderstandings
  • Giving effective feedback across cultures
  • Practical tips to help you communicate when working globally, especially when collaborating with U.S. team members


Who is it for? Leaders and team members collaborating in global teams, HR and L&D professionals, and curious minds, wondering what works across cultures and why.
