Giving presentations across cultures
Why was the same presentation on a topic very familiar to you in different countries
received completely differently? Why wasn't everyone delighted with your story related to
the topic of the presentation? Why did some people keep a serious face when you told a funny story from your experience? Finally, why were some only interested in facts and
figures and repeatedly asked about your experience with the presentation topic?
Presentations today are given by almost everyone and everywhere — stationary and remote
in daily team communication and employee interviews, sales calls, business meetings, job
interviews, training, conferences, trips, interviews and probably much more.
However, today more than ever — due to the prevalence of remote working — it is important
to develop presentation skills for audiences from different cultures and in different cultural
contexts.
