In this episode, Karl Ostroski, dad, IT consultant (and bacon gardener?), talks to us about the importance of cultural intelligence. Knowing how to communicate effectively with people from different cultural backgrounds is paramount in all relationships, from personal to professional. What may seem like normal interactions to some can have very different outcomes and reactions, just depending on what the individual values. We also talk about the importance of being lenient with yourself when inevitable mistakes are made, and about dad jokes. Lots of dad jokes.
