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 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).

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.

Irina Yashkova is a highly accomplished cross-cultural expert and interpreter with a unique background. A native Russian who grew up in Siberia, she acts as a “cultural bridge” between Russia and the United States. A third-generation linguist, she has over two decades of professional experience.
Her exceptional track record is highlighted by over 15 years of dedicated support for NASA’s International Space Station Program. She served as a simultaneous and consecutive interpreter, liaison, and country advisor. Among her most notable achievements, she became one of only two interpreters in the world certified to interpret live during spacewalks in 2003. She is fully certified to support all Mission Control Center operations, including Space-to-Ground communication and Extravehicular Activities. Her work has been recognized in publications like the Moscow Times, which featured her in the article “NASA Interpreter’s Job Has Her Seeing Stars.”
This extensive experience in high-stakes, technical, and diplomatic environments, combined with her advanced degrees in interpretation and international management, makes her an ideal expert for complex cross-cultural and interpretation needs

Cross-cultural understanding is vital!
It breaks down barriers, fosters empathy, and fuels innovation.
In an interconnected world, valuing diverse perspectives and unfamiliar behaviour is not just ethical, it’s essential for global progress and peaceful coexistence!
