Bridging the Interpretation Gap
Why Smart People Misread Each Other Across Cultures — and What to Do About It
Saturday Live Sessions, 9 – 10 AM (PST) / 12 – 1 PM (EST).
You’ve done everything right. You communicated clearly. You have a solid strategy. You’re working with capable people.
And something still went wrong.
Someone seemed disrespectful, but wasn’t trying to be. Feedback landed as an attack, but wasn’t meant that way. A “yes” turned out to mean something else entirely. And you’re left wondering what happened and how to stop it from happening again.
Here’s what happened: cultural difference is not the threat. Misinterpretation is.
Different people decode the same words through different meaning systems. What signals honesty in one culture reads as aggression in another. Silence can mean respect, strategy, or disagreement. Without the right tools, you’ll never know which. That gap between what you meant and what someone heard is the Interpretation Gap, and it’s quietly eroding your relationships, your team’s performance, and your ability to lead effectively across cultures.
This training shows you exactly how to close it.
