Being curious about different cultures is what Febronia and I have in common, so it was a pleasure to talk to her and hear about her personal and professional experiences in working and communicating with a range of people with diverse cultural backgrounds.
It is her insatiable curiosity that drives her to connect with others, fuelling valuable conversations that lead to greater understanding and collaboration.
However, we both recognise that there is a darker side to curiosity and
I really liked what Febronia said that sometimes we need to step back in our curiosity and listen more rather than rushing ahead to get through our agendas.
The fundamental questions we discuss in this episode are:

• How do you think conversations that are fueled by curiosity can be maintained in cross-cultural remote teams?
• What three tips do you have for those listening that are working in cross-cultural teams to ensure effective communication takes place?

We are both curious to know what you hear in this episode that you can relate to from your own experience.
As we say, there is no end to the learning and we would love for you to connect with us and share your ideas and experience!
