Personal Development In Cross-Cultural Communication Challenge
Cross-Cultural Communication Challenge – Personal Development
This is the fourth monthly challenge to improve your cross-cultural communication skills for more international business. This month it is about the personal development you need to do for better cross-cultural communication.
These tips are kept very short to help you think about each one in depth and to evaluate how this applies to your particular situation.
Why Is Personal Development Critical In Cross-Cultural Communication
Cross-cultural communication is a soft skill, a people skill. It is essential to know yourself well. The more you know yourself the easier it is to make the journey along the path that separates you from people of different cultures.
There is also a fair bit of personal work to do to acquire cultural and international skills necessary for international business. This 30 day challenge takes you through different aspects of cross-cultural communication more closely related to international business.
Your challenge is to work on developing your cross-cultural skills:
- Read your daily tips every day during the challenge
- Think about what this means to you
- Reflect on how this could help you get more international clients
