1. Hello, everyone, and welcome to my TED Talk about communication in multicultural settings. But before we dive into the topic, let me take a moment to introduce myself . My name is Shiela Lou O. Tumapon , and I am a student pursuing a degree in Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, majoring in Marketing Management.

2. I’m excited to discuss with you today how effective communication plays an important role in bridging cultural gaps, whether in the workplace or in everyday interactions. Let’s dive in!

3. Communication is very important in our daily lives, especially when we interact with people from different cultures. Imagine you're at a work meeting with colleagues from all over the world or you’re in a group project at school with classmates.

4. You speak the same language, but something just doesn’t feel right. The conversation doesn’t flow as smoothly as you expected, and you're left wondering if you've misunderstood something.

5. This happens often when cultural differences aren’t considered. Even though we may share a common language, the way we communicate can be influenced by our cultural backgrounds, leading to misunderstandings.

6. Today, I want to talk about why communication in multicultural settings can be challenging, and how we can improve it to create stronger connections.

7. In multicultural settings, people come from different backgrounds, each with their own ways of communicating.

8. For example, some cultures value directness in conversation, while others might prefer a more indirect approach.

9. Some cultures focus on body language and non-verbal cues, while others rely more on the words spoken.

10. These differences can lead to confusion or even conflict if we don’t recognize them.

11. Think about a situation where you’ve had a conversation that didn’t go well, even though everyone spoke the same language.

12. The problem might have been a difference in cultural communication styles.

13. Understanding these differences and being aware of them can help us communicate more effectively, whether we’re in a business meeting or a social gathering.

14. It’s not just about the words we use but about recognizing and respecting how culture shapes communication.

15. In conclusion, effective communication in multicultural settings is about more than just speaking the same language.

16. It’s about understanding and respecting the differences in how people communicate based on their cultural backgrounds.

17. Whether we’re working with colleagues from around the world or meeting new people in our personal lives, making an effort to listen and understand can break down barriers and build stronger, more meaningful connections.

18. Next time you’re communicating across cultures, remember that patience, empathy, and open-mindedness are key.

19. By embracing these principles, we can create more inclusive and successful interactions that benefit everyone involved.

20. Let’s continue to learn from each other and make communication the bridge that brings us closer together.
