Cross-cultural competence is needed in current B2B communications. The ability to clearly communicate, define an idea, complete a joint venture, pitch a product, or close a deal with individuals different than yourself is important.
Companies hire great communicators for their teams, but often the best can be stuck in a conversation they feel "is going nowhere" due to lack of cultural understanding or language barrier. Many businesses have lost leads, clients, or connections due to intercultural incompetence.
For over 10 years Shea Riley has consulted with leaders and companies in increasing intercultural awareness in their business practices. Effectively smoothing the lines of communication, minimizing cultural clashing, and promoting inclusivity. These strategies can be applied to communicating with different ethnic cultures as well as different sub-cultures within society.
