In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we are joined by Terence Clarke, a transformational executive coach with more than 20 years of experience in the Asia-Pacific region as we explore how to transform cultural challenges into your greatest strengths. Now based in China, Terence shares his personal story of cultural adaptation—moving from frustration and misunderstanding to a place of connection, resilience, and professional growth. The conversation centres around Terence’s AAA model: Awareness, Appreciation, and Adaptation. He explains how these principles help individuals and organisations navigate cultural differences without losing authenticity. From communication breakdowns to power dynamics in leadership, Terence offers practical insights on how to build trust, create psychological safety, and embrace diversity in global teams. This episode is a must-listen for leaders navigating cross-cultural environments and for anyone looking to foster more inclusive, responsive, and resilient organisations.
