How to build cross-cultural effectiveness before onboarding talents remotely

Cross-cultural understanding is very important to build a good working relationship with your remote talent. When you hire talents from diverse cultural backgrounds like India, you will notice a difference in their communication and work style. Many confuse this difference as the talent’s inability to understand the employer’s way of working, but it is not.

In this blog, we will discuss salient features of Indian talents that make them unique and how to bridge these differences for cross cultural effectiveness.

What should global hiring managers know about Indian talents

Here are a few things that highlight the working and communication style of Indian talents:

High context

Using non-verbal communication and phrases instead of clearly speaking their mind out.

Polychronic

 Handling multiple tasks at a time and having a flexible attitude towards deadlines.

Respect for hierarchy

Avoiding strong words or even saying “no” to their seniors to ensure a calm work environment.

Why do global companies need cross cultural training

Without proper cross cultural training, global employers will fail to understand what their remote talent is trying to communicate. For examples, Indian talents actively use the phrase “kindly revert” to seek a response, while the true meaning of “revert” is “to return to a former state”. Global employers must ensure cross cultural effectiveness to manage their remote talents properly and avoid confusion.

How to build cross-cultural effectiveness before onboarding talents remotely

Research about the work culture of the region

Before you hire remote talents from offshore locations like India, East EU, or LatAm, invest some time in understanding how their talents like to work and communicate in a corporate setup. The more you learn about their cultural aspects, the better you will be able to understand and manage them.

Set up regular meetings with the talent

After onboarding the talent, set up weekly or bi-weekly calls with them to check how well they are progressing at their role and if they are facing any challenges. It is important to build a rapport with your talent right from the early stage to understand their thought process and how they respond to certain situations. By doing this, you will be able to manage them better and track their progress.

Clearly communicate your expectations

While you are establishing a rapport with the talent, make sure you set clear expectations for the talent. They must understand and acknowledge their role at the company so they can fulfill the expectations. Avoid using strong words and always share feedback using the Hamburger method (positive comment-constructive feedback-positive comment).

Final Thoughts

Your remote hiring strategy is incomplete without cross cultural communication training. By learning the intricacies of your remote talent’s communication style, you will be able to build a larger distributed team and manage them effectively.

While writing today I was thinking...so I was writing something kinky, something that I find personally quite hot and that fit with the characters and scenario.  But I hesitated because...well I imagined people objecting to it on the grounds that it would be a Bad Idea to do In Real Life. 

And specifically, it reminds me of specific criticism I’ve heard leveled at the 50 Shades books.   And like, first of all I’m not here to defends 50 Shades, for one thing it would be really hard to do since I’ve never read them or seen any of the movies.  But also I’ve always thought some of the criticism they receive is unnecessarily harsh.  (Not all of it.  Just some.)

Because to me, a lot of people seem to really be unable to approach a work of fiction, and IN PARTICULAR a work about sex without pretending it is 100% Real.  And they direct their criticism accordingly: can you imagine doing this in real life, omg you would be arrested omg perverts omg sex crime omg dirtybadwrong.  

And like people never seem to stop and consider that...fiction is fantasy.  A safe exploration of ideas that are either unfeasible or impractical to enact in the real world.  I don’t care if your fantasy is being a pirate on the high seas or getting railed behind a supermarket, they are both impractical and full of moral, ethical and legal problems. 

But people act like, yanno exploring one of these things in fantasy is fine and the other is a sign that you’re a Secret Degenerate.  That you Don’t Understand That This Would Be Wrong. 

But like, I was brought face to face with this today, writing something that I’m very aware is at the least Extremely Morally Dubious in a real world context.  But writing it anyway because it’s hot to me and what the fuck is smutty fanfic for if NOT exploring these things safely.

And I just feel like so much of Media Criticism these days, especially of the tiktok/youtube variety, though I enjoy snarking at shitty things as much as the next person, but so much of it is pearl-clutching about fiction being unrealistic.  That if this Fictional Scenario Was Real it would be bad and unhealthy and dangerous and like, it’s always about the romance tho, isn’t it.  It’s rarely about how actually you’d get gangrene from that wound without antibiotics or whatever. 

And I’m really tired of this idea that Fiction for Women is bad because the audience is Too Stupid to tell the difference between fiction and reality.   And sometimes it’s about YA, and the argument is they’re too young.  Okay, fine.  But like, again, are you focusing on the bad advice about surviving in a wilderness or or you focusing on the unrealistic romances?

So yeah, I don’t know.  I think it’s important to acknowledge that fiction sometimes appeals exactly for the fact that it doesn’t follow the same rules as the real world.  That people can have something in fiction they wouldn’t want in the real world.  That, in fact, fiction is the appropriate place for that to happen. 

I don’t know, this isn’t coherent.  But I’m so tired of this argument that I see about oh people are too stupid to tell the difference between Art and Escapism and it’s all the fault of fanfiction and Dumb Media and like I think actually most people can tell the difference between indulgent media and stuff that’s supposed to be gritty realism but it’s armchair critics who equate everything to the same level of Depiction is Endorsement.  And unfortunately this has been the dominate form of internet media criticism for long enough that it’s all an entire generation has been exposed to. 

And as someone who writes indulgent smut on the regular and also has a degree in literature and psychology, like actually I’m not at all confused about the line between fiction and reality thanks. 

#idek #purity culture #writing #if you're curious specifically this was about kink in public #something that imo crosses the long into Not Actually Okay in real life #but also I'm not super worried cause no one is reading vegaspete fics unless they are way on board the Fun in Fiction but Not RL train #like I'm kinky in RL #I've Done Some Shit okay #but yanno #ANYWAY #then I saw a post that like set this off #and specifically about 50 shades like #some criticism is hella valid and some is like eww kink I think is gross

[ice-block]

It’s so fucked up how tiktok culture has made clout-poisoned people turn the public into content, every day I see people minding their business have their entire faces put online for thousands of likes, a couple kissing on the train, a lady dancing across a cross walk, a guy nodding his head to the music at a club, a lady buying a banana at the store, ring camera footage of the neighbors kids being stupid. Just let people live jfc

Developing Cross-Cultural Competence as a Coach

In the bustling streets of Wilmington, NC, where cultures blend as seamlessly as the waves meet the shore, the need for cross-cultural competence in coaching is more vivid than ever. Willis Coaching, nestled at the heart of this diverse community, stands as a beacon for young adults seeking guidance through the complex tapestry of their lives. It's here, in the melting pot of experiences and backgrounds, that the journey towards developing cross-cultural competence begins.

Cross-cultural competence, in essence, is the ability to navigate and thrive within the rich spectrum of global cultures. It's about understanding, respecting, and valuing the differences that make each of us unique, while also finding the common ground that unites us. For a coach, especially one dedicated to empowering young adults, it’s like having a master key that unlocks the full potential of every individual they work with.

At Willis Coaching, we recognise that each young adult's story is as distinct as a fingerprint, shaped by a unique blend of cultural influences. Our approach is rooted in the belief that truly effective coaching cannot be one-dimensional. It must be as dynamic and multifaceted as the individuals we support. This ethos drives us to constantly expand our understanding of the myriad cultures that make up our world.

The journey to cross-cultural competence starts with self-awareness. It's a deep dive into understanding our own cultural identities and biases, recognising how they shape our perceptions and interactions. Willis Coaching champions this introspective approach, encouraging both coaches and clients to explore their cultural backgrounds. This exploration is the first step towards mutual understanding and respect.

Education plays a crucial role in developing cross-cultural competence. It’s about actively seeking knowledge about different cultures, histories, and societal structures. At Willis Coaching, we're committed to ongoing learning, regularly engaging in training sessions and workshops that enhance our understanding of the world's rich cultural tapestry. This commitment to education ensures that our coaching is informed, respectful, and inclusive.

Empathy is the heart of cross-cultural competence. It's the ability to put oneself in another's shoes, to feel and understand their experiences from within their cultural context. Willis Coaching prioritises empathy in every coaching session, creating a safe space for young adults to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgement.

Communication, especially active listening, is another cornerstone of cross-cultural competence. It involves truly hearing what others are saying, both verbally and non-verbally, and responding in ways that acknowledge and respect their perspective. At Willis Coaching, we emphasize the importance of clear, respectful, and mindful communication, ensuring that every young adult feels heard and understood.

Flexibility and adaptability are key attributes of a cross-culturally competent coach. They allow us to tailor our coaching strategies to meet the unique needs and cultural backgrounds of each client. At Willis Coaching, we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt our methods, ensuring that our coaching is as effective and meaningful as possible for every individual.

Developing cross-cultural competence is an ongoing process, a journey without a final destination. It requires dedication, humility, and a genuine desire to understand and connect with others. Willis Coaching is committed to this journey, continually striving to enhance our competence to better serve the diverse community of young adults in Wilmington, NC.

In conclusion, cross-cultural competence is not just an asset; it's a necessity in today's globalised world. It enables us to bridge divides, build connections, and empower individuals to navigate the complexities of their cultural identities. For any young adult in Wilmington, NC, looking for a coaching service that truly understands and respects the diversity of the human experience, Willis Coaching is here, ready to guide you through every step of your journey.

What is Aboriginal Cross-culture Awareness Training?

We are common becoming increasingly conscious of the call to be conscious of different cultures and even the Aboriginal culture is not any different. Depending on your working environment and sometimes your social circle may determine from what lengths you should head to, being completely mindful of different cultures. This is where cross-cultural awareness training comes in invaluable particularly if it is required in an operating environment. To use it simply, Cross Cultural Awareness is the ability to disappear from ourselves and still have a knowledge and comprehension of the cultural values and customs of other cultures. You will find this across all cultures, as an illustration, the culture that we have in Australia is very different to that in say Japan. What is acceptable and normal practice in one culture could possibly be unusual as well as offensive in another which is something that we always have to be alert to. When it comes to the Aborigines we want an awareness and respect of the different value systems passed in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, in terms of family, land, sea and heritage. It is only natural a large number of people are stuck as to what would commonly be referred to as our safe place. Cross cultural awareness brings us away from that comfort zone and challenges not merely our own attitudes but that regarding others. It involves altering mindsets and changing people misconceptions and consequently, it's going to bring communities and cultures closer together. In reality this generates a better environment for anyone to call home and sometimes breaks down barriers that quite simply, really should not be there. When you participate in a training program you will see how to communicate effectively with Aborigines, understanding their culture, their society and their beliefs. There are certain "Aboriginal Protocols" that should be observed, something very few people would be mindful of as they would view it to be a long way away from the norm. This is one area that you would learn during the learning a workshop. So, what's going to you learn? Firstly, you'll want to understand their culture so that you could become aware of it. Aboriginal Kinship then has to be understood simply because this will help you to appreciate far more why things are done. This will unquestionably transform your knowledge and understanding then when tied in with key historical events that have happened in Australia during the last 250 years you will get a deeper understanding. Of course, once you've this understanding it will be possible to match and contrast lifestyles and understand what is unique to the Aboriginal culture. This will include social determinants and Aboriginal overall health let alone their own language and strategies to communication. Finally, cross cultural communication training is possible to spot strategies to moving for forward and extracting more barriers in the foreseeable future, it mat be preventing these barriers from being set up to begin with.

Crackfic Idea:

30-year-old Zuko gets randomly flung back in time to his 16-year-old self. For a couple of hours at a time. At the most random times imaginable. Imagine the potential.

Zuko assumes that it's a dream or a vision, but definitely not real. He tries not to freak everybody out too badly, but he's also fully enjoying himself and seeing all of his friends as their young selves.

ZUKO, as he and Aang circle each other at the South Pole: I've spent years preparing for this encounter. Training, meditating. You're just a [Spirit Shwoop Sound] ... baby Aang!

AANG, confused: Well, more like preteen Aang. How do you know my name?

ZUKO, looking around: Wait, where are we?

AANG: Um... this is the-

SOKKA: Don't answer him! He's trying to get information out of you. You can't give away our location!

KATARA: Sokka, he's standing in the middle of our village. I think he knows.

ZUKO: We're here? This is so weird. I was just here for the Annual Penguin Race.

AANG: THERE'S AN ANNUAL PENGUIN RACE?!

ZUKO: Well, yeah, it was your idea... you gave a whole speech about cross-cultural cooperation and friendship, but I know you just wanted to go penguin sledding with a bunch of people...

AANG: Well, I-

SOKKA: Stop giving him more information! He already knows about the penguins!

Everybody else is confused, bewildered and even befuddled except for Iroh, who assumes that it's Spirit Shenanigans™️ and just fully accepts that his nephew likes tea and hugs and Pai Sho sometimes while being his usual shouty surly traumaball self at others.

ZUKO, stepping into the cabin: Hi, Uncle. I brought you some ginseng. How about a game of Pai Sho?

IROH, tearing up a little: I would love that, my nephew.

ZUKO: I wish we could do this more often, but you live so far away...

IROH, mentally calculating that he lives exactly three doors away from Zuko, and nodding sagely: The rat-viper may never climb the mountain that a hog-monkey can, but the monkey does not know what lies underneath it.

ZUKO, sighing sadly: I know, Uncle. I do appreciate my position in life, even if it has disadvantages.

IROH: Hmm. Your move, nephew.

The crew of Zuko's ship is terrified by the fact that whenever it happens, Zuko is somehow even more hyper-competent, seems to be weirdly calm about everything, and most unnervingly of all, he's polite.

SOLDIER: Here is a report on the best teahouses within three days travel of our current location, Sir. And, uh, Commander Zhao sent a messenger hawk.

ZUKO: Excellent. Thank you very much, Sergeant. I think we can ignore whatever Zhao has to say. In reply, I want you to send him a list of the most famous officers in Fire Nation history, and point out that none of them had sideburns. I want to see if he shaves them.

SOLDIER, sweating nervously: O-of course, Sir.

As a matter of fact, the whole fic could just be Zuko trolling Zhao. It would be glorious.

WRITING IN GENERAL (For those who don't want to die like Stormtroopers)

SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).

ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I've ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, with +20 different in-depth reports, for only the first 500 words. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn't mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you're writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit it too.

LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the word limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence (3 a day), even if it doesn't raise any flags; it's very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel quite right.

Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.
