✨Books on cross-cultural communication✨

Lately, I’ve been diving deep into the topic of intercultural communication.

Partly because I’ve been living outside of Russia for a while,
Partly because of my work—both as an English teacher and a coach who works with English-speaking clients,
And partly because we’re planning our next international move and want to choose our future country with care and awareness.

And here's a reading list. I am only starting to read those books, so if you have already done it, I'd love to hear your comments.

📘 Riding the Waves of Culture: Understanding Diversity in Global Business
by Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner
A classic in the field that explores how cultural values influence business practices and leadership around the world.

📗 Bridging the Culture Gap: A Practical Guide to International Business Communication
by Penny Carté and Chris Fox

📙 Diversity Competence: Cultures Don’t Meet, People Do

I’m starting with this one. It offers a person-centered approach to intercultural work, emphasizing emotional intelligence and real-life encounters over theory.
