How Does Business Speaker Erin Meyer: How Cultural Differences Affect Business Work?

Erin Meyer helps people understand how different ways of thinking from other countries can make working together easier or harder.

Imagine you're playing a game with friends. Some kids always shout when they want to go next, while others wait quietly until it's their turn. If everyone plays the same way, the game is fun. But if some kids shout and others wait, it can feel confusing, like someone forgot the rules! That’s kind of what happens in business when people from different countries work together.

In some places, people talk about ideas right away, like when you raise your hand to answer a question. In other places, people wait for the leader to start talking before they say anything. It's like playing two different games at once!

Erin Meyer shows that understanding these differences can help people work better together, just like knowing the rules of the game helps everyone have fun.
