Why Cross Culture?
By Richard Lewis
Because we’re no longer living in isolated bubbles.
Whether we travel, work remotely, or just interact online, our lives are more global than ever — and knowing how to navigate cultural differences makes all the difference.

Richard D. Lewis
Richard D. Lewis is a renowned British linguist, cross-cultural communication consultant, and author. He is best known for creating the Lewis Model of Cross-Cultural Communication, which classifies cultures into three major categories based on behavior and communication patterns:
Linear-active cultures – task-oriented, highly organized, and prefer doing one thing at a time (e.g., Germany, Switzerland).
Multi-active cultures – people-oriented, emotional, and often multitask (e.g., Italy, Latin America).
Reactive cultures – attentive, respectful listeners who prefer to react carefully rather than initiate action (e.g., Japan, China).
Lewis developed this model after visiting 135 countries, working in over 20, and analyzing data from more than 50,000 executives and 150,000 online surveys across 68 nationalities.
He is the author of the influential book “When Cultures Collide” (1996), which has sold over one million copies and is considered a cornerstone in the field of intercultural communication.

Why Cross Culture?
By Irina Yashkova
Cross-cultural understanding is essential—without it, you’re not leading, you’re guessing!
Speaking the same language isn’t enough. True connection and leadership come from knowing how cultures think, act, and communicate differently.
Cultural awareness turns confusion into clarity and builds real trust across borders.
