The survivor's guide to cross cultural com...: B.Du Mesnil and C.Naschberger at TEDxMinesNantes

I would like to see more of these presentations. It explains more on cultural body languages. I especially appreciated the slangish descriptions which is so interesting. Admitting miscommunication happens way too often here. Better awarness is important.

Your presentation was well done and consistent with most of what I have gained as a Communication Specialist and educator. However, I tend to agree with Delphine du Toit's message that there was no mention about the African culture. I am puzzled as to why this group was not acknowledged.

Thank you Delphine I had the same thought it's sad

I might be wrong, but most of what is said here sounds like clichés. By the way, on one slide, we are told that 'British' belong to a 'low context culture' (i.e. a culture in which people go straight to the point). The next slide, we are told that when british say something, they mean something else (i.e. 'hum, that's interesting' => 'that's a stupid idea'). Confusing, isn't it?

[@Solbm27]

Maybe it means that you go straight to the point of saying something different than what you mean.... :) (nah..you're right....it is idiotic)

"Indirectness of interpersonal communication" is the culture standard for Britain. On the cultural dimension of "Context", the UK is closer to France and Western cultures, than it is to Arabic or Asian cultures.

Помогите пожалуйста понять, О чём идёт речь вкратце?

[@DelphineduToit]

You make NO mention of Africa - the 2nd largest continent. The 2nd most populous continent, with 54 countries and in excess of 2100 languages. Are Africans irrelevant?

Thank you for raising this issue

Condescending to say the least! This for me cannot be classified as a global analysis, rather keep it Austrian and British !

[@brandprincejoo]

Quite an average presentation that was obviously poorly researched, wherein France still lives off its former African Colonies to the tune of billions of Euros annually; yet the African Culture context was not featured nor discussed, despite global companies parading all over the African Continent. America is a global mix of European settlers, African Americans, Hispanics, Middle East, Latinos, & Asia Pacific Cultures. That is why it was more successful & stable to have the United Nations in NewYork, USA than its unstable predecessor in Europe, the 'League of Nations', Switz... Leaving out Middle East, or African Cultures makes this Cross Cultural guide presentation "half-baked", & it's my Culture to accept their flaws, forgiving them to do better next time. Shalom in peace.
