E52: Culture and Communication

Communication is deeply integrated into culture through body language, tone, timing, pronunciation and so much more. This can unfortunately be one of the biggest challenges people face when they move to new countries or regions. Heather Chetwynd, founder and director of Voice to Word consulting leverages over 35 years of experience in the field of adult education, primarily focused on culture and teaching English as a Second language, to help internationally educated professionals reach their full potential.
