You know that awkward moment? That moment when you or someone you know feels tongue-tied talking with a person of a different race or culture? What do you do? What if you're misunderstood? What if you say something offensive? We’ve all lived it. But it doesn't have to feel SO awkward. On today's show, Rebecca will talk with author and coach, Amy Narishkin, about the the communication connection that is so important in the challenges facing our modern moment. By embracing cultural intelligence, both individuals and businesses can unlock new opportunities for growth and thrive in today’s multicultural landscape.
