Say What You Mean: When OK Doesn’t Mean Good


Small talk is a good way to build relationships. Effective small talk helps businesses thrive and professionals excel, no matter whether it is at work, in class, or at a conference.

 

The activity aims at exploring the following issues with you:

 

When we communicate with people from another culture, there can be a gap in our understanding. What you are trying to say might be completely different from what is being interpreted by the listener. By increasing your awareness of such difference, you will give yourself the competitive edge that will help you succeed.

 

Topics:

  1. What do you want to say? What meaning is derived by the listener?
  2. What words and tone will you use to say your idea?
  3. What time, place and method will you choose to communicate your message?
