"The most important competency for success in global assignments? Humility—being willing to learn how to succeed in a new cultural context."* Paula CaligiuriPaula is THE expert in this realm!In this episode, I welcome Paula Caligiuri, a renowned expert in cross-cultural psychology and global leadership and author of many books about cross-cultural adaptation and career happiness, the latest ones being:Build Your Cultural Agility: The Nine Competencies of Successful Global Professionals (2021)Live for a Living: How to Create your Career Journey to Work Happier, Not Harder (2023, co-authored with Andrew Palmer)I have known Paula for almost 30 years.  Her research played an essential role in my dissertation which was on cross-cultural adaptation in expatriate work assignments.  While I do not work in this area, Paula sure does!  She has dedicated her career to research and practice on the psychology of cross-cultural adaptation in both the personal and professional realms.I really enjoyed the opportunity to speak with Paula about the intricacies of cultural agility, the challenges faced by individuals working internationally, and how organizations can better prepare their employees for success in diverse environments.Cultural Agility is the name of the game.Our conversation is anchored by the concept of “Cultural Agility”, a combination of awareness, competencies, and experiences that allow individuals to be effective in multicultural environments. Paula describes it as being made up of:* Awareness: Understanding one's own values and how they compare to different cultural contexts.* Competencies: The skills needed to enter a novel environment, learn it, and be effective. These include both relationship-oriented competencies (like perspective-taking, relationship-building, and humility) and personal self-oriented competencies.* Experiences: Exposure to different cultural contexts, though Paula emphasizes that experiences alone are not enough.Paula notes that cultural agility involves the ability to adapt and thrive in unfamiliar cultural settings. She emphasizes that it's not just about giving people experiences abroad, but also equipping them with the knowledge and skills to navigate cultural differences effectively.Biology is a critical factor in adaptationProbably the most interesting thing I learned from our conversation was the role hormones play in cultural agility because they can help individuals handle greater levels of novelty comfortably and effectively, and that those with higher cultural agility are often better able to adjust to more challenging cultural contexts.  Did you know that- elevated cortisol levels in response to cultural unfamiliarity can impair cognitive functions, making it challenging to interpret social cues and adapt behaviors appropriately.Or that The novelty of a new culture triggers the brain's reward system, releasing dopamine, which can enhance our motivation to engage and learn in the new environment.I didn't!Adaptation begins with undertaking activities that put our chemicals in balance!Assessment plays a central role in adaptationI am not going to pass up the opportunity to talk about assessments.  Paula has taken what she has learned and created the myGiide assessment, which measures cultural value and cultural agility competencies providing users with insights into their cultural values and biases, allowing for comparative analysis with other cultures and identifying potential areas of conflict or misunderstanding.  The assessment is free.  I took it and found the insights it provided me super valuable.myGiide is also an example of the role technology plays in cross-cultural adjustmentThe impact of technology on cultural adaptation may surprise you.I went into our conversation thinking Paula would gush about how technology has made adapting to other cultures much easier. But I was wrong!*  Technology is a "double-edged sword" for cultural adaptation.  It allows people to stay connected to home, potentially reducing feelings of isolation.  However, overreliance on home connections can hinder full immersion and engagement with the local environment.* Technology should not replace real-world experiences and interactions.  It should be used as a tool for learning and support. Excessive use of social media and video calls can become a "crutch" that impedes adjustment to the new cultural context. Direct engagement with the host culture remains crucial for successful adaptation because cultural differences are "exacerbated" in virtual environments due to the lack of in-person cuesBusinesses must step up to help their expats be successfulWhen it comes to expat assignments, businesses should:* Create a pipeline of culturally agile professionals through strategic talent management practices, including the recruitment, selection, and development of employees with the ability to work effectively across cultures.* Assess bench strength in cultural competencies, not just technical skills, for roles that involve international or multicultural work.* Use assessments to identify employees who are ready for international assignments or have the potential to develop cultural agility.* Provide targeted support for employees on international assignments, including in-country cultural coaching and AI-powered tools like the chatbot in the MyGuide platform.This episode's Take it or Leave it? articles are:"Global Mobility in 2024: Trends and Predictions"* Summary: This vendor-published article outlines the changing landscape of global mobility, including shorter assignments, digital nomads, and the rise of technology platforms for managing mobility. Paula critiques the "nothing new here" approach, emphasizing the need for deeper cultural training."Thriving, Not Just Surviving: How Targeted Therapy Makes All the Difference for Expats"* Summary: This article explores the psychological stress faced by expats and the importance of targeted therapy. Paula reflects on her early research into expat mental health, reinforcing the need for specialized support to help individuals adapt to new cultural environments. This is a public episode.

“CULTURAL AGILITY - A META COMPETENCY” Join me and my guest Paula Caligiuri, PhD, Co-Founder and CEO of Skiilify (www.skiilify.com). Paula is a Fellow in both the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology and the Academy of International Business.  We unbundle the notion of cultural agility and its importance in the business world. We explore its impact on strategic plans, the role of leaders in facilitating cultural agility, and the connection between cultural agility and the soul of business. Paula defines cultural agility as an individual's ability to comfortably and effectively work in different contexts and with people from different cultures. Cultural agility is a meta competency that can be developed through various sub-competencies such as tolerance for ambiguity, resilience, curiosity, humility, and relationship building. Soft skills, often referred to as 'squishy,' are actually hard skills that require effort and development. Cultural agility is crucial for effective leadership and influencing others.

Both managers and employees need to ask themselves how to achieve desired presence and impact in their workplace and working lives. Some of it might be best achieved by being together in person, other needs can be satisfied by simply being together remotely. Work is usually about achieving something together. What that means is changing but there is no reason to think the dust is settled on this issue yet. Thanks for listening.

“Organizations that are successful globally, sometimes have to be culturally agile enough to recognize the cultural difference.” Paula Caligiuri With the increased globalization of markets, businesses are finding it necessary to develop the competencies that would enable them thrive in cross-cultural contexts. Our guest today, Paula Caligiuri, has specialized in the area of cultural agility and says it involves awareness and the ability to put into practice skills that enhance cultural adaptation. Paula Caligiuri is a D'Amore-McKim School of Business Distinguished Professor of International Business and Strategy at Northeastern University.  Researching and consulting in the areas of global leadership, cultural agility development, and global mobility, Paula has authored or co-authored several articles and books – including her most recent, Build Your Cultural Agility. She was named a semi-finalist for the 2021 Forbes “50 over 50” for co-founding a public benefit corporation, Skiilify, to help foster cultural understanding. Skiilify offers a free tool (www.myGiide.com) to build awareness and develop cultural agility.   Paula holds a Ph.D. from Penn State University in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. In today's episode, Paula shades light on cultural agility and why it is important for businesses that operate in a multicultural context to adapt to being culturally sensitive. Listen in! Contacts TASCAglobal.com myGiide.com. I studied abroad in Rome, Italy, in 1987 and unfortunately for me, the market crashed while I was in Italy. [3:30] I ended up doing my PhD in psychology which is around what makes people effective living and working internationally, and how they change from deep developmental cross cultural experiences. [4:21] I've just been blessed with a much wider audience now to talk about how we become effective living and working in different countries. [4:47] When humans are under any position of stress or any sense of anxiety, we tend to cling to what is familiar. [6:42] There is cultural agility which comes in two ways and that is first, awareness of proper etiquette norms and values and second, the competencies needed in order to be successful. [8:07] I always encourage people to certainly build that awareness not only of the superficial things, but of the much deeper values, and then also concurrently build those competencies. [9:26] We have to remember that culture is socialized, we're not we're not born with culture. [10:18] We all know that when we go into another organization, we have to realize that that organization has its own set of norms and values and behaviors. [10:47] With tech, what's happening is because we're doing it so quickly, and with such ease, we're forgetting that we need to attend to a lot of the cultural cues just like we would if we were in person. [12:00] This is kind of masking the need for cultural agility, because we're doing it at such a fast pace. [12:43] I've watched countless meetings where individuals from different cultures misinterpret their colleague's body language due to perceptual differences. [12:49] Organizations that are successful globally, sometimes have to be culturally agile enough to recognize the cultural difference. [16:00] Professionals know when to adapt, but they also know when to integrate to create something completely new that is unique. [16:41] Commercial break. [17:00] I wish companies would really spend more time thinking about building cultural agility as opposed to just offering this training because everyone else is doing it. [20:18] We build cultural agility by finding similarities with people who we don't know because we bond with people around similarities, and the only way we go there is through authentic conversations. [21:13] The last thing companies should be doing is setting up anything structurally that keeps people from having natural conversations. [21:30] My initial research was on what made people successful internationally and the product turned into consulting which later turned into keynoting. [22:23] We recently formed a company called Skiilify where we provide a tool which people can use to assess your own values and competencies and learn how to build them. [22:52] Humans form trust in different ways depending on how they've been socialized, but underlying it all is seeing someone as authentic, real and similar. [26:09] Having those conversations that enable us to get to similarities is the easiest way to build trust and skill that will never be run. 26:20] ………………………………………………… Thank you to our December sponsor!  KukuaBiz can provide dedicated and affordable talent from Kenya to help you grow and scale your business.

Getting in an extreme cultural situation does more harm than good for cultural agility. Americans tend to smile a lot. This can look a little strange or un-credible. Be aware of the level of formality if you are working with people from another culture/demographic. In some cultures, silence means you are engaged. Sometimes it means you are disengaged. Push against the desire to seek the familiar and find someone who is demographically diverse.    QUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? Having to get a job to make it during a study-abroad experience in Europe. Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: “A leader is…” Courageous, authentic, transparent. What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? How much time am I really spending understanding the environment I'm in and the people I'm with? What book would you recommend to leaders? Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman If you could get every listener to start doing something THIS week to help them be a better leader, what would it be? Ask two more questions in any situation you're in (no matter your natural level of curiosity). As a general life principle, is it better to ask “why?” or “why not?” “Why not?” because we can offer vision and hope and make a change whatever corner of the world we're in.   CONNECT WITH PAULA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulacaligiuri/ (@paulacaligiuri) Website: https://mygiide.com/ (https://mygiide.com/)   CONNECT WITH JOSH LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/joshuafriedeman (@joshuafriedeman) Instagram: https://instagram.com/joshuafriedeman (@joshuafriedeman) Email: josh@friedemanleadership.com   Want a FREE list of weekly action steps to improve your leadership?

When working with people from different cultures, there is a lot to keep in mind. What makes you wildly successful in one culture can cause you to quickly crash and burn in another—even on Zoom.Fortunately, my guest today, Dr. Paula Caligiuri, has the answers for us!

So, I'm twenty, but it was the fall of 1987, so - the fall of 1987, Black Monday hit, the markets crashed, the money I had saved ended up being pretty much worthless. So again, I was out of my socioeconomic status comfort zone here. All the other kids at the school - all American at the time - they all called home, mom and dad sent more money... I called home and my mom and dad said "sweetheart get a job." So, I mean, it wasn't a mistake as much as it was, oh wow, I either have to turn around and go home at this moment, or go for it."Check out the book! - Fearless: Girls with Dreams, Women with VisionThe Fearless Women Podcastfearlesswomenpodcast@gmail.comThe Beacon AgencySponsors:BDCLockheed MartinExport Development Canada
