Voices Across Borders: How Culture Shapes Communication

In an increasingly networked world than ever, the way we communicate is more than words themselves—it’s shaped by history, culture, and tradition. On this edition of continent-dna, we explore how cultures shape communication styles in different places and societies.

From tone of voice to the use of silence, cultural norms shape the way we convey ideas, relate stories, and even conduct commerce. Why should some cultures demand directness and others prefer subtlety? Why is direct stare a sign of confidence in one culture and disrespect in another? These are questions that we will investigate.

We’ll hear from guest speakers with international experience, including language experts, travelers, and professionals who’ve worked across borders. They’ll share real-life stories about moments when cultural communication either opened doors—or created misunderstandings.

This episode aims to give listeners a deeper understanding of the silent factors behind global conversations. Whether you’re building international relationships, running a business, or simply curious about how the world talks, this conversation offers valuable insights.

Join us as we venture into the fascinating means by which communication is shaped not just by what we say, but by where we come from and what we carry with us.
