Presented by Christophe Million-Rousseau.
Christophe Million-Rousseau will compare the linguistic challenges and opportunities in English-speaking international companies operating globally from the perspective of (1) non-native speakers of English within a firm led by native speakers and (2) native speakers of English, both vis a vis global customers and teamwork. It will address the following questions: How do linguistic and cultural dynamics inform a team's appeal to a customer and prospect pool? What are the hurdles to effective communication and negotiation? How do conscious and unconscious team biases operate? What is the impact of language on diversity policies?
