CROSSING CULTURAL BOUNDARIES

 

Clark Plexico knows the joys and challenges of living and working in other countries and cultures having done so for over twenty-five years in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America.

In a lively and often humorous manner, Mr Plexico shares with his audiences “lessons learned” through these experiences. He uses these to illustrate the importance of understanding cultural differences in living and working abroad, as well as for being successful in global markets.

Individuals and organizations are increasingly working with colleagues who have different cultural ways of approaching and communicating problems and challenges. While the diversity of thought can increase creativity, it can also cause misunderstanding and higher levels of conflict.

Based on his own multicultural experiences, listed below are three of Mr. Plexico’s presentations on successfully crossing cultural boundaries:
