So if you live in Lexington, KY, like I do, you know that the world will be coming to your door in less than eight months for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. If you are a local business owner or will be volunteering or working at the event, how do you avoid making some of the following cultural blunders:
- Making any kind of body contact with someone of Asian culture.
- Shaking hands with a female of Muslim culture.
- Showing the bottom of your foot to someone of Islamic culture.
- Handing your business card with one hand to someone from China (versus using two hands).
The list could go on and on. How is one to keep it all straight? One way is to attend one of the seminars being promoted in an article by Business Lexington. The speaker comes with a background in public relations and political consulting. If you’re interested in finding out more, read the article here.
