In this episode set in Cambodia, I share the story of the time I thought my tuk-tuk driver was messing with me!
Among the keys to discovering others—and to intercultural management as well—what if we explored our relationship with the word “No”? I’ll tell you what happened, what I learned from it, and how you can apply those lessons in your everyday life.
Whether you’re an expat, a traveler, or simply curious about cultures and diversity, this podcast is for you.
Enjoy the episode!
