How cross-cultural understanding can help us to see each other | Simone Buijzen | TEDxSittardGeleen

Originally from Sittard and fascinated by the psychology of people and their different backgrounds, Simone has travelled the globe for over 25 years. Starting out as a marketer for multi-national companies she has witnessed a lot of cross-cultural misunderstandings that though hilarious were often time and money consuming. Her love of people and her extensive international business experience inspired her to study cross-cultural communication and start building bridges between different cultures.
In her role as cross-cultural trainer and executive coach for over 12 years Simone has worked with leaders and their teams at multinationals and NGO’s all over the globe. She has also taken on the role of Advisor to the My Shining Star Foundation in Malaysia and has since made the Eastern Hemisphere her second home.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    "Gerber" means vomit in French, not Spanish. It is possible that might have affected sales in Latin America as she says, but not because gerber is a common word in Spanish

    As a Chinese, I can say not only her pronunciation of Benz in Chinese is totally wrong, but also the Chinese meaning of Ben Chi (which means drive very fast given the context - definitely not dash to death!)!

    Swastik originally is an ancient hindu symbol representing the sun and it features everywhere including daily prayers or religious rituals. The nazis cross is copied from the hooked cross and labeled wrongly as the indian swastik. By 2023 i hoped the world would know this by now.....google guru is at our fingertips

    I think that might be the Thai culture....Asia comprises of many countries. Many people (old & young) from the suburbs in 3rd tier cities in China may still walk around in bare feet.
