Do they do things differently there? How can we be sensitive to these differences?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As communicators, we are attuned to the audience we want to reach. But still we are grounded in the people around us, to where we work and live. It&#8217;s hard not to have our approach shaped by &#8220;the way we do things around here.&#8221; In other words, the local culture. It&#8217;s what we&#8217;re exposed to each and every day. So we don&#8217;t challenge or think about whether it is the best way of doing things.<\/p>\n<p>On this week&#8217;s episode of the Inside PR podcast, we explore these questions with two guests who have lived and worked on both sides of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ch.linkedin.com\/in\/suzychisholm\" target=\"_blank\">Suzy Chisholm<\/a> is head of communications at Philips Switzerland. A transplanted Canadian, she has spent over twenty years living and working in Switzerland, a country at the heart of Europe and a country with three languages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sherrilynne\" target=\"_blank\">Sherrilynne Starkie<\/a> has worked in Washington, London, the Isle of Man and now in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Both Suzy and Sherrilynne offer their perceptions and insights into the challenges of communicating in different cultures. And then Martin, Gini and I weigh in with our own thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that this discussion opens some windows onto the different experiences and approaches people may have working as communicators around the world.<\/p>\n<p>What is your experience? Have you had direct experience of the differences driven by culture and language? We&#8217;d love to hear your thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Send us an email or an audio comment to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:insideprcomments@gmail.com\">insideprcomments@gmail.com<\/a>, join the\u00a0<a title=\"FIR Podcast Community\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/communities\/112349929544876511942\" target=\"_blank\">FIR Google+ Community<\/a>, join the\u00a0<a title=\"Inside PR Community on Google+\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/communities\/107220947721041165633\" target=\"_blank\">Inside PR Google+ Community<\/a>, join the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/group.php?gid=101489863251163\" target=\"_blank\">Inside PR Facebook<\/a>\u00a0group, leave us a comment here, message us\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/inside_pr\">@inside_pr<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter, or connect with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ginidietrich\" target=\"_blank\">Gini Dietrich<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/thornley\" target=\"_blank\">Joseph Thornley<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/martinwaxman\">Martin Waxman<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And we have a favor to ask: if you like this podcast, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/ca\/podcast\/inside-pr\/id137886027?mt=2\" target=\"_blank\">rate us on iTunes<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">******************************************************************<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank you to the people behind Inside PR.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our theme music was created by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fortheloveofrecords.com\/\">Damon de Szegheo<\/a>;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rogerdey.com\/\">Roger Dey<\/a>\u00a0is our announcer.<\/p>\n<p>Inside PR is produced by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AshleaMcGrath\">Ashlea McGrath<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What happens when we are trying to communicate with people who live in another place with a distinctively different culture?
