About this episode

To watch the video version, go to neirelo.com/allaccess Language and cultural training are far too often treated as relocation add-ons. In this episode, Zac is joined by Christina Miller and Rita Shulda of IOR Global Services to make the case that both are far more strategic than they appear. From executives trying to lead in a second language to children navigating new school systems, language and culture shape confidence, authority, and connection. The team explores how even small efforts to engage a new language can build credibility, signal respect, and accelerate integration. For mobility leaders, it’s a reminder that successful assignments aren’t powered by logistics alone — they’re powered by understanding. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
