This interactive webinar for J-1 scholars is ISSO sponsored. When we move to another country, we experience many situations that may seem strange to us. People may behave in ways that are outside of our own beliefs concerning what's appropriate or inappropriate, leading to misunderstandings, miscommunication and stress. Coping with the pandemic adds another layer to the challenges of living and working in another country.
In this session we will take a closer look at American culture and the underlying values that govern people’s behavior. This knowledge will help not only with your cultural adjustment but also will improve your interpersonal relationships and understanding of the American workplace.
Presenter: Yvonne Lefort, MA, is a career coach and intercultural trainer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She specializes in helping people from other countries find work, adjust to American culture, and create fulfilling lives.
Reserve your "seat" and we will send the Zoom link before this session.
