Have you ever considered that even the do’s and don’ts of video conferences can have cultural influences? Naturally, in any video conference you ought test your equipment beforehand, dress appropriately, and avoid multitasking during the call. However tricky questions such as: how closely do you frame your image? How long do you sustain eye contact? How long do you pause? are all culturally dictated. Eye contact sustained too long with your Chinese or East Asian partners can be misconstrued as aggressive. Pauses that are too short leave no room for your East Asian partner to participate and you appear as terse or pushy. Learn more from Yvonne where you can make a better impression via Chinese business communication. Sign up now for her upcoming webinar https://ilsbdc.ecenterdirect.com/events/32258
