Terence C. recently had the opportunity to be a guest on the Culture Matters podcast, hosted by Chris Smit, Global Culture Expert, International Speaker During this engaging conversation, they explored Terence's experiences as an expat living in China for many years. They discussed how these experiences have shaped Terence's understanding of cultural nuances and intercultural communication. One key insight shared was the importance of adaptability in cross-cultural interactions, emphasizing: “You’ve got to learn to respond, not to react.” This principle is essential for navigating the complexities of different cultural environments. If you're interested in cross-cultural dynamics or looking to enhance your cultural competence, we encourage you to listen to this episode. It offers practical insights and stories that can benefit anyone working in international contexts. https://lnkd.in/gS2_wTD3

Delighted to share the video recording of my keynote at the Institute of International and European Affairs. I asked what lessons a uniting Ireland could learn from the reunification of Germany and argued that there were a few: Like German reunification, Irish unity would require the completion of negotiations at different levels: internal, bilateral and international (including at the EU level); it would require a similarly complex process of merging two distinct legal orders. The specific questions to be addressed would range from the very mundane (which jurisdiction’s conveyancing rules should we use going forward?) to the highly contested (e.g. what, if any, special status should unionists enjoy?). While many of the substantive questions will differ between the German and Irish contexts, the legal techniques deployed in Germany—such as frontloading, transition periods and conflict rules—could usefully be employed in case of Irish unification, too.

Highly recommended to watch

Bonus - Interesting Thoughts On International Expansion We cut this discussion out of the main podcast because it was an interesting piece on international expansion. It's a model that you can use to expand overseas based around how the top paid media channels work. We thought it would be good to highlight this as a bonus episode.

An interesting, yet often not much discussed, aspect of moving abroad is managing cultural changes or cultural shock. Recently had a candid discussion with Sagarika Reddy Mooli, Ketaki Buwa, and Vedant Oak on this very topic. Thank you, guys, for your insightful perspectives! 👍 Here's a LINK to the Part 1 of this discussion https://lnkd.in/d7yhkjEC Admitstar Jothsna Rege

“Our Europe can die” [because of the European elites complacency]. President Macron’s speech in Sorbonne and multiple interviews this week represent a true shift of the paradigm in the Western Europe. In case you have missed the interviews most of which are behind the paywall I highly recommend this interview and analysis by Economist. There are two main reasons IMO why this speech is so important: this is the first time that a leader from the big Western European country acknowledges existential threat of ruZZian imperialism to Europe and world’s democracy and brings the sense of urgency. President Macron talks about 3 intertwined threats for Europe: geopolitical-military, techno-economic and threat to democracy. He goes beyond European Union and appeals to all European countries. The Democracy Dies in Darkness as they say. Well, this alarming speech calling for urgent actions is a beam of light for sleeping Western and Southern Europe. With UK, Northern, Central and Eastern European countries bitting the drum for the past couple of years we finally have a chance to see Europe as a whole shifting gears. Europe doesn’t yet have all the solutions, but is getting united around the problem with the increased sense of urgency. Please, find 30min to listen! #stoprussia https://lnkd.in/gkAdMFjZ
