Immerse yourself in a foreign culture.

The first question is the culture?

Culture is a story. It is the story that we tell ourselves and the story we tell others.

Cultures come from colera from Latin meaning nurture and flourish.

Culture is like a water to the fish.

The cultural shock can help you realize the cultural bubble you are living in.

Let’s talk about cultural barriers and how to cross them.

- Language

- Labeling people

-Stereotypes

People focus on differences and not the commonalities. Focus on the positive and the commonalities we have within different cultures.

Assumptions come from a culture and they are this sometimes I the reason we do not approach strangers for a conversation.

Different cultures - Western civilisation vs Eastern civilisation.

Seek to understand is to be understood.

Fundamentally first we need to become aware of them that they exist. Afrawards accept them and be less judgemental.

Tip: Do not take things personally.

Growth mindset vs fixed mindset.

How do you completely immersed in a different culture?

-It is a really good idea to start with learning some basic phrases.

-Engage with people.

-Explore the culture, restaurants, and museums.

-Subcultures - for example going to the local gym and meet the people that workout. Because even before starting to speak you already have one thing in common. It can be anything basketball, surfing, football etc.

- Attend meetups.

Do not be explore afraid to explore, that way you will be able to stretch your horizons.

In today episode we will be talking about communication and how to be an effective communicator.

Communication - It is how we deliver our message to the world.

Make sure that the message is delivered clearly.

Communication is not what you said, but how you said it and the energy behind those words.

What happens if someone has misunderstood you.

Miscommunication is the cause of a lot of drama between people.

Pro tip: Convey your message in your mind so that you can say it in such a way you will be understood.

Own what you say.

Asertivness

Empathy

Authentic

How do you meintain your opinion and being open-minded at the same time?

Stand behind your words and do not believe anything you heard from someone, but also keep in mind that this person knows something you don’t so you might wanna dig deeper into it.

What is a good conversation:

It is about listening, appreciating and respecting the other. Everyone wants to be heard.

Seek to understand in order to be understood.

How to be an effective communicator.

Conversational treading

Cold reading

Storytelling

Honesty

Empathy

Solitude

Internal communication:

How do you speak to yourself is the way you speak to others as well.

How to think ahead and plan your budget accordingly?

We need to make a plan and to see what amount we have and how do we optimize it.

For example, if we have 700 $ and let’s say you pay 300$ for rent you are left with 400 $ and you need to have an idea of where would they go.
