What Global Culture Can Teach Us About How We Work:
Insights from 151 Cultures with Dr. Hilary Curry

In this episode of Culture Conversations, Craig Forman welcomes Dr. Hilary Curry—an organizational development consultant with a PhD and two decades of experience—to explore what working across 151 cultures reveals about the way we work. Hilary shares reflections from global consulting roles, from the UAE to Canada, shedding light on how national culture and workplace dynamics intersect in surprising ways.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why leaders need a “professional retrospective” – take real steps to pause, reflect, and reset your career direction.
  • The art of listening beyond words – how spotting what’s unsaid can be more telling than what’s spoken, especially across cultural lines.
  • Balancing structure and spontaneity – why process matters and facilitation must flex to be human-centered. • Cross-cultural lessons you can apply anywhere – insights from her work across 151 cultures that enhance collaboration and leadership.
  • The cost of disregarding cultural context – understanding “where people come from” in national terms is just as important as organizational culture.

    • Why It Matters:

    Whether you’re leading locally or globally, Hilary’s perspectives will help you rethink how culture shapes your workplace—and how being culture-aware makes you a better leader.
