Episode 13: Craig Storti

As you can tell if you listen to this podcast, I was really excited to get to have a personal conversation with Craig Storti. It was only after reading his book, Speaking of India, that I was first able to pinpoint some of the unique challenges that face anyone working with India.

Craig, who started out as a US Peace Corps volunteer, is extremely down-to-earth, and shares a lot of the wisdom he has gained over his many years.

Here are some highlights:

• Why being an expat doesn’t qualify you for cultural understanding
• What’s in the new edition of Speaking of India?
• Virtual working tips
• How different India is today vs. the Y2K years
• Why the best advice is still to pick up the phone
• The current state of intercultural training
• What Craig still struggles with about India

We reference a few articles in this conversation that you can find here:

• Training tips in India
• Why I Wouldn’t Spend $500 on Cross-Cultural Training
• Grey is White

You can find Craig’s website here, and all of his books on Amazon here.
