CultureActive — based on the experience, work and writings of Richard Lewis — acts in two ways:

1) to assess and categorize an individual’s communication style along nationally — or culturally-defined criteria, and
 
2) to provide a resource of country-specific information on communication styles, leadership elements, business protocols and other elements.

During the session, Tim Flood (Assistant Professor of Communication at the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School) will take us through CultureActive and its potential as a teaching tool, business resource, and series of thought and assessment exercises.
****If you RSVP for this session by Oct. 14, you will be able to take the CultureActive survey before the meeting. Please send an email to sietarnc [@] gmail [dot] com. You will then receive an email with instructions for accessing CultureActive.

Last year we organized several fantastic events — alternatives to the U-curve with Kate Berardo, intercultural competence with Darla Deardorff, India and Turkey with special guests, VisualsSpeak with Cate Brubaker, education in Germany with Diana Levy, and of course Michael Paige’s public lecture!

Now we’re busy planning events for Fall 2008 and Spring 2009. We typically meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month from 6:00-7:00pm in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area, but if there’s enough interest we might try out a Saturday event or two.

Here are some topics/events we’re thinking about:

We’d like your input so please leave a comment! Please introduce yourself and tell us…

Which topics interest you the most?
What are your event suggestions?
Would you like to be, or recommend, a presenter?

We look forward to hearing from you!
