1) Imagine you work for a company where countless times you´ve heard the French complain about the Americans in an ethnocentric way and vice-versa. How can you help change that? 2) When you were moving to the UK, French friends told you, The British never invite you for dinner, which is a common social activity in France. How can you get rid of this stereotyping? 3) French style of giving feedback, focused on what was “wrong” rather than on what was working well, was undermining his team’s confidence. What could he do to tackle this issue? 4) I worked for an organization where non-English native speakers felt that their career progression opportunities were not the same as for English native speakers. How could this problem be avoided? 5) The less you know about people, the less you share information with them. How can we overcome this problem during the pandemic? 6) All businesses follow timetables, but in some cultures, people strictly adhere to the schedule, whereas in others, they treat it as a suggestion. For some, “five minutes” could mean half an hour, and “tomorrow” could mean the next few days. Some people say that in Brazil they wouldn’t start a meeting exactly on time. How do you feel about that as a Brazilian?
