Cross Cultural Faux Pas Stories
This week on The Public Speaker, I talk about cross-cultural communication. I explain a model of communication that was developed by an anthropologist named Edward Hall. He talked about the idea of high- and low-context communication cultures. Hall said that in high-context communication, in general, many things are left unsaid.

After a recent seminar, a participant asked me the following…

I think it might be better to refer this to a manner’s expert, but I’ll give it a shot.
