Im only 17 and Im not in business world. But what Erin talks about can be applied to my international friendships which is also complicated and multicultural.
I like how she explained useing cultural awareness like a muscle. It takes a lot of work, development and continual maintanance to stay up to date with cultural differences but it is a necessary skill in many areas of life especially in international business.
I admire your courage talking about your personal opinion about people you meet from different places but I hope we ALL realise that no matter where you are in this world, you can find people with different personalities and principles regardless their nationality. In my country I meet people with contrasting ideas and way of life despite their common origin. Everybody can be something one time or another no matter who they are. Have a good day!
In Africa, especially in my native country, Burkina Faso, the learning system is mostly receiving information from the teacher without any contradiction which will be considered as no respect. So Sweeden people are lucky to have this opportunity to contradict their teachers.
Your book is fantastic! I just read it as part of my company's women in technology conference. I have recommended it to several people and will use it often going forward. Thank you!
I lived in all of those countries: Romania, Italy, Turkey, Spain, and Canada. The last one, Canada is a multicultural country, and if you want to explore cultural differences, I propose spending a year in Winnipeg and don't miss Folklorama festival. Without a doubt, you will become an excellent team leader.
Very interesting because in West Africa, we have the same cultural differences in eye contact. Having eye contact is a sign of no respect and not having eye contact is a sign of respect.
When you are in a different cultural context (from your own) you can also develop your perceptions and your ability to observe your new environment without judgment. The map is not the territory.
As a German, I would argue, that it really is a kind of mistrust, too, to send back, what you just talked about on the phone. It is about knowing, who to blame for something. But it also can just be a reminder for the other person, or to be sure, that the other person understood everything the same way you ment it. I would say, it depends.
Hi Erin About this video what you were talking about. I just thought, when Japanese manager looked for people to see if anyone want to ask questions and then someone started to ask questions. To be honest I thought as a Japanese, the people asked questions because they read the air(Kuki) and they might thought they have to ask questions ... we called it as ATSU(圧:Pressure) meaning we felt pressure "ATSU" to meet the expectation for the Japanese manager. I would appreciate if you could share your thought. Thank you!
Thank you for your presentation. Unfortunately your opening comment gave me a moment to pause. Minnesota is home to a number of Native American Tribes that are high context societies, and can offer some unique cultural insights.
Thank you for your video. I would really like to see, read and hear more of your studies. I come, unlike you, from a very diverse society here in South Africa and as you may know a society with a very volatile history. Now before a local election, things tend to flair up. Sometimes I feel that we are so busy being flexible to accommodate others that we hurt our spin. Yes, I agree with the question: "Do you want to be happy or successful in what you try to do or do you want to be right?" I think that the thing that bugs me is that I feel sometimes we are so accommodating and there is just no effort from the corresponding side. That being said, I also agree as a life and business coach with the presupposition that the meaning of your communication is in the response you get.
I notice how she says "we" and then corrects herself to "I" by taking ownership of the success of this project. Many people have a hard time doing this. It's great to share success with a team, but there are also times to take ownership of your role in getting things done.
I believe she assumed that if someone had a question, they would immediately raise their hand or start talking to ask their question. If no one raised their hand when given the opportunity, the assumption is that they have no questions and perhaps that people would be uncomfortable if called upon.
Where’s the rest of the video? So many watching may have been misled from your ending statement...and that’s a shame because I liked where you were going until you shared how uncomfortable you felt with another culture in that instance
Someone takes the time to write down what you said and to clarify for themselves and others and you felt they didn’t trust you? The rest of your elevator speech was I. The complete opposite direction
Great book, and video... coming from Monterrey, Mexico, and having read your book already, I believe the example you cited here was about a Dutch company and not a Swedish one (Heineken and Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma) ...I guess this is what the internet is all about, expressing this kind of thing that no one cares about, and makes no difference at all if this comment exists or not... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuauht%C3%A9moc_Moctezuma_Brewery

I loved her smile and confident communication. Thank you!
Really nice talk! And the culture map is one of the most important books I have ever read! Amazing work!
Buy Erin Meyer's book "Culture Map". A pure gem.
In Africa, especially in my native country, Burkina Faso, the learning system is mostly receiving information from the teacher without any contradiction which will be considered as no respect. So Sweeden people are lucky to have this opportunity to contradict their teachers.
This really makes you think! The smallest things can make the biggest differences when you add different cultures in the mix.
Your book is fantastic! I just read it as part of my company's women in technology conference. I have recommended it to several people and will use it often going forward. Thank you!
The capacity to navigate in different perspectives is a long life study. Most people value only narrowing perspective.
Impressive! Well-understanding cultural traits of various communities is vital for effective communication!
❤ this book❤ from India. The culture map... Really gem 💎
Thanks in sharing. Found this through Whole Foods Market training videos on Verb.
Stumbled into this video as one of the reference materials for one of our MBA courses at Nexford University
A very interesting concept explained beautifully with numerous fascinating examples and metaphors ! Loved it!
quite the cliff hanger
❤ from Japan. Love erins book and presentation!
I recommend everyone to read her book, it could have saved me sooo many awkward moments
I loved it. I feel so identified with what you are talking about.

I can't exactly describe how i feel now after I watched this presentation, But it was amazing. tnx Ms. Erin Meyer .
Very useful, informative ma'am. I have been following your work from quite some time. Thanks👏

true. very true, but ppl are hard to get on with actions all the time... is like afraid get to be the first to do so

A fascinating view on the evolution of cultural differences, thank you so much!
Hi Erin
About this video what you were talking about.
I just thought, when Japanese manager looked for people to see if anyone want to ask questions and then someone started to ask questions. To be honest I thought as a Japanese, the people asked questions because they read the air(Kuki) and they might thought they have to ask questions ... we called it as ATSU(圧:Pressure) meaning we felt pressure "ATSU"
to meet the expectation for the Japanese manager.
I would appreciate if you could share your thought.
Thank you!

watching this for a college class and idk who she is but she really spitting straight facts here
Why didn’t they test out this microphone situation earlier? My ears hurt!

She often starts examples with “ well, you know, Erin”,right?
very interesting point of view
I notice how she says "we" and then corrects herself to "I" by taking ownership of the success of this project. Many people have a hard time doing this. It's great to share success with a team, but there are also times to take ownership of your role in getting things done.
I’ve surprised that the KY was still existed at this time. I’m familiar with the word recently. A kind of shocking.
She is building bridges for intercultural friendships and business.
Fantastic!
very good video, gave me some new insights! thank you
❤ this book
is there a full video ? or maybe a second part for this one please.
Communication skills
I love videos that just cut off half way through...
I love this is there a longer version somewhere??
where can I keep watching it?
Yes! Sudden ending, where is the rest of the video?
@@katyaparijs6999 I think I found after the full video on her channel. Its actually a presentation from her and another guy if I'm not wrong.
@@omarmntr8288 awesome, thank you Omar!
Why didn’t she understand that some people had questions?
I believe she assumed that if someone had a question, they would immediately raise their hand or start talking to ask their question. If no one raised their hand when given the opportunity, the assumption is that they have no questions and perhaps that people would be uncomfortable if called upon.
Awesome presentation. #GLS2016 @GLSKENYA
Do people expect mind readers?
Where’s the rest of the video? So many watching may have been misled from your ending statement...and that’s a shame because I liked where you were going until you shared how uncomfortable you felt with another culture in that instance
Yes, that cut at the end was very abrupt.
Someone takes the time to write down what you said and to clarify for themselves and others and you felt they didn’t trust you? The rest of your elevator speech was I. The complete opposite direction
I LOOK THIS FOR A ENGLISH LESSONS
book has 101 anecdotes -- no documentation -- presentation would be better without the over-'steroided' gesticulations
Me gustan los helados de mango y no por ello soy racista
Tonto que eres tonto
Any one watching this video for your ELPP class

Elaborate, please.
Yeah, her last example also has another version which she has used where the Arabian were her Indonesian colleague.
