This week, we are joined by Jane W. Wang, a self-actualization coach for multicultural people, who helps us understand our cross-cultural identities better as third culture kids. Where do we belong? How do we navigate conflicting cultural values? Is there a "right" way to communicate? What is cultural intelligence?

Jane confirmed that the intercultural communication frameworks she spoke of -- low-context vs high-context communication, and task vs relationship-based prioritization, were developed by anthropologist Edward T. Hall, one of the founding fathers of the intercultural communication field of study.

She also recommends these books:
