Comment on Cultural “Baggage”: The Key to Business Success Around the World by Vicki Flier Hudson

Thank you, Lynn! I just started wondering if that word “baggage” couldn’t be applied in a way that was more useful. Words have a lot of power and I’m always thinking of how we can use them to promote collaboration. I appreciate your feedback!

Terrific analogy and what a wonderful way of turning the negative, weighty concept of baggage upside down. Articulate, profound and most importantly, relevant and accessible!

Thank you for the comment! I can see in my everyday life how “baggage” affects me, but in digging deeper into my own history it becomes even more clear. I am a global citizen, but I am influenced by the optimism, idealism and other traits of the US. I see how it helps me and how it hinders me. Always fascinating though! Thanks for reading.

Vicki,
What an inspiring and creative way to look at “baggage”. I especially related to how a culture’s history influences their decision making processes, especially as it concerns doing business in this global economy. I am always learning from your blogs and appreciate the time and effort you take to write them.

Thank you, Rita! I’m so glad I could provide inspiration, as you have always done that for me. I’m just glad to have these cultures to “take up the slack” where I struggle. It’s a relief!

I love your examples, Vicki – they inspire me to look for my own “cultural teachers” and name them! Thank you!

Lovely quote, Dick, and so true. I think of my life without all of these adventures through diversity and I imagine it would be like watching TV in black and white, rather than technicolor! Thanks for your comment. Also thanks to Donna for “an inspiration to strive for completeness and not perfection.” Well said!

So well expressed, Vicki — thanks for sharing your experiences. As April Holland said, “Embracing diversity is one adventure after another, opening new paths of discovery that connect an understanding to caring, listening, and sharing with others who are different than ourselves.”
