5 - Why Living Abroad Changes Who You Think You Are
In this thought-provoking episode, I virtually sat down with Augustine Colebrook. She is a global midwife whose work has taken her to different places around the world.
This is a deep dive into the heart of cross-cultural communication and experiences.
We explore how Americans and others living abroad face the challenges of communication across cultures and the subtle art of giving feedback across cultures and in the U.S. We also see what it means to embrace your identity as a global citizen.
