Conflict happens in every team. But in global and multicultural teams, misunderstandings often arise because culture shapes how we disagree, express emotions, and resolve conflicts. When we misinterpret the behaviour of colleagues from other cultures, trust can quickly erode.

In this episode, host Anna Kostecka speaks with Hamlin Grange, a Canadian interculturalist and IDEA strategist (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Anti-Racism) with over 26 years of experience.

Together, they explore how culture influences conflict in the workplace and how leaders and teams can navigate disagreements more effectively.

• Different conflict styles: direct vs. indirect communication and expressive vs. restrained emotional approaches

• How culture shapes the way people approach conflict at work

• The Canadian perspective on addressing disagreements

• Real-life examples of conflict dynamics in multicultural teams

• Practical tips for navigating conflict across cultures
