I have often been in situations as a woman. An important part of cross-cultural skills is having an intimate knowledge of oneself. And going beyond knowledge... sort of like knowing that you have just as much right to take up the space you take up and according to your own values. The first times these situations occur it is easy not to be as smooth as you would like. A serene knowledge of who you are and what you represent will help you find the right "tone" in all circumstances... It is a quiet confidence and not pushing your beliefs onto others. A truth unto yourself. Most people have trouble when they do not know themselves well enough to know where their personal boundaries are and when they need to steer clear of them. Without these personal boundaries you can let yourself get into situations where things do not end well. With the right inner confidence of this self knowledge you can easily avoid the embarrassing situations. Hope this helps. One of the things that helped me was recognizing people with strong cultural skills and watching them in action. It's always smooth. They never let themselves get into situations where they feel personally under aggression. Hi “Tessen”,

His Japanese partner always invited him to a bar…(with girls) My client is German and he doesn’t like such contacts. It was not easy to find a solution. But here it comes: He told him: “..I can’t do it…because of religious reasons…” What do you think about it, Cindy ? One of my clients had a big problem. His Japanese

My client is German and he doesn’t like such contacts.
It was not easy to find a solution. But here it comes:
