Managing cultural differences 4th day

Monday 12th September 2016

I completed a quick test in the form of a video on YouTube. Within the literature, I've been reading about cultural intelligence and how I should think strategically when approaching a conversation. I wanted to see if what I read, combined with my experiences from the first week had made any impact on my cultural difference management skills. The test was easier than I thought. After that I had the idea to gather my friends for a meal and I asked them to bring some food from their culture as something fun. Reading what I've read and knowing how well my jokes were received, I am slightly hesitant to speak to my friends which is uncharacteristic. I think I need to find the right balance when it comes to being sensitive, after all, they are my friends and the literature refers more to the workplace.
