What does it mean to become a cultural communicator??
My husband and I recently returned from a 25th anniversary trip to New York City. Everywhere we walked we heard an amazing variety of foreign languages. In every location we saw an incredible range of people. We were surrounded on all sides by diversity that was mind boggling.
What made the trip most enjoyable was not the sights although they were spectacular but the people we met along the way. Rick at the MWR ticket office was a life long New Yorker who clearly loved to share his knowledge of the city.. He so helped us on our way. Lisa was sitting in Central Park and sells real estate. After an hour long conversation, she gave us a great restaurant recommendation and even walked with us to the restaurant.
What does it mean to be a cultural communicator? To be willing to notice and listen to all the amazing people around us who have so much to contribute to our conversations. Communication is best learned through opposition. Having to communicate our ideas to those who are different than we are is the beginning of a great journey. You don’t have to travel to New York to find those who think and talk differently than you do.. sometimes you find them even in your own home!! Be committed to stay in the conversation.
