Connecting Across Cultures: Forging Bonds in a Global Workforce

How can you effectively navigate and foster collaboration, adaptation, and thriving across cultures within your distributed workforce?

In today’s episode, Vicki Flier Hudson chats with Melissa Hahn, Intercultural Consultant at Hahn Cultural Consulting, Lecturer at the American University School of International Service, and co-author of the new book, Forging Bonds in a Global Workforce.
