TIPS FOR GROWING INTERNATIONALLY

5
BE HUMBLE AND OPEN. “When you work internationally,
you have to be very open to learning from another culture. You
need to be humble and try to understand others.” –Suzette
DON’T PRESSURE. “If people don’t feel that you’re trying
to understand them, they will run. They don’t want to feel
pressured to do things a certain way just because that’s your
way.” –Suzette
ACCEPT INCONVENIENCE. “You can’t make someone do
something because it’s more convenient in your mindset. From
their cultural perspective, it might not be.” –Suzette
LISTEN AND LEARN. “Listen to them and learn as much as
you can about them. In the end, the extra effort you put into
growing internationally will be worth it.” –Tomas
ENJOY THE BENEFITS. “It’s worth it because you get to
travel and gain a lot of friendships with people around the
world that you never would have met otherwise.” –Suzette
