Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
So in working around the world,
0:01
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
many of the things that I've seen is the same thirst and the same hunger
0:06
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
for knowledge,
0:06
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
but how you teach it may vary a bit country to country.
0:11
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
For example,
0:12
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
there are some countries where I can use self -deprecating humor and
0:16
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
I can tell about a mistake that I've made or I can tell about
0:21
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
something that I did wrong.
0:22
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
And I use that as a teaching tool because we know that when we
0:26
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
make mistakes,
0:27
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
we remember it more than when we do it right.
0:29
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
So I'm a great one for talking about things that I've made mistakes on.
0:33
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
But in certain cultures,
0:34
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
if I do that,
0:35
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
I'm seen as lesser.
0:37
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
Like, you're the expert and so you shouldn't be making mistakes.
0:40
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
When I'm training or when I'm teaching,
0:42
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
I'll say,
0:43
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
you can call me whatever you'd like to call me.
0:45
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
You can call me Nina.
0:46
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
You can call me Professor Meierding.
0:47
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
You can call me Mrs.
0:48
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
Meierding.
0:49
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
It's up to you.
0:50
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
And that makes some people very uncomfortable.
0:53
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
I'll have some people go,
0:54
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
oh, we'll call you Nina.
0:55
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
And those people oftentimes are people who are my age and are from
0:59
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
both sides of the country.
1:01
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
If I go into the Deep South and I say,
1:04
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
you can call me Nina,
1:05
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
and they're younger than I am,
1:07
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
They feel extraordinarily uncomfortable doing that.
1:10
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
And so part of it is a connection as
1:14
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
far as something as simple as your name.
1:16
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
The other thing that's different is that I
1:20
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
am what is called a cross talker,
1:22
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
which means overlapping speech.
1:24
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
And what that means is if you're talking about something really exciting,
1:28
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
I might overlap that.
1:29
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
And I might say, oh,
1:30
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
that sounds terrific.
1:31
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
Oh, that sounds fantastic.
1:32
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
In some cultures,
1:33
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
that
1:35
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
because of my power distance of being the instructor or the trainer.
1:39
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
If I overlap someone's speech,
1:41
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
not to interrupt them,
1:42
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
not for the purpose of stopping them talking,
1:44
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
but just I'm excited about what they're saying and so then they'll stop.
1:48
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
They will stop for the duration because they're figuring if
1:53
S…
Speaker 2 (1779800991637)
I have something to say,
1:54
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
then they should not be talking.
1:55
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
And so the very motivation I have to encourage them and
2:00
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
my excitement in what they're talking about.
2:03
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
actually stops them from speaking.
2:05
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
And so as someone who's a natural overlapping crosstalker,
2:09
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
when I go to cultures where crosstalking is not as common or it's not
2:13
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
polite,
2:15
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
I'm having to do a lot of self -monitoring because
2:19
S…
Speaker 1 (1779800991637)
it's not my natural style of speech.
