Communication in an international environment is much more than the words you say. In this course, we explain the difference between nations that tend to be logical and concerned with the individual, focusing on the words spoken in comparison with cultures that understand more through non-verbal cues such as gestures and facial expressions and harmonizing relationships. Also, the more emotional cultures and restrained, the ones used to negative feedback and those that don´t usually confront others. Remember that culture is dynamic and that every individual within a culture is unique and may not conform exactly to the general characteristics of that culture.
