Go Global
Teachers of culture are simultaneously students of culture. As interculturalists, an important part of our profession is to continually gain new insights into global business and validate our knowledge around the world. As you know from your work, the nuances of culture are vast, and interacting with people from other backgrounds is enormously enriching.
As part of a new series, the RW3 CultureWizard team will share their intercultural experiences through business, travel and intercultural training in fascinating places around the globe. We will post our thoughts, encounters and stories along with the pictures we take. A story on my trip to the UAE, Oman and Nepal is our first. We'll soon write on trips to India, Australia and Iceland.
