🔵 Webinar recording + QUIZ: Are you direct or indirect?

🧠 Understanding the Styles: Direct vs. Indirect

“I thought I was being clear. What happened?”

“They nodded, but did the opposite. Did they lie?”

To understand global audiences, ask yourself these 5 questions:

1. What's my communication style?

The first step is understanding what lense you're using to understand the world. Are you direct or indirect? Take the quiz! 📝

2. What are their priorities?

→ Direct communicators: clarity, speed, and efficiency.

→ Indirect communicators: politeness, relationships.

3. What does 'respect' mean to them?

→ Direct communicators: being transparent and efficient.

→ Indirect communicators: preserving harmony.

4. How do they say 'no'?

→ Direct communicators: no, I don't know, I disagree.

→ Indirect communicators: yes, I will try, maybe.

5. What are they not saying?

Pay attention to body language, pauses, and actions.
