In today’s world of hyper-connectivity, global markets and cultural diversity, our ability to communicate effectively with those outside our immediate geographic bubbles is more important than ever. I believe there is no better way to succeed in this environment than to speak the language of those with whom we collaborate. Increasingly, bilingualism is an absolute minimum, and learning and mastering a third or even fourth language is common among the most effective global citizens. Aside from gaining a competitive advantage, let’s not forget how fun, intriguing and satisfying it is to learn a new language! It keeps our minds flexible and engaged. It keeps us humble yet brings us a deep sense of accomplishment. We relish the immense feeling of connection that comes with our ability to confidently say to our friends from different cultures and backgrounds, I really enjoyed talking with you.
