Great article, Manu! I know Hoftsede's cultural dimensions very well, but had no idea about Meyer's Culture Map! Super interesting!

The Culture Map is so clearly explained, and the cultural relativism behind each dimension is a real compass. In my new series, Culture Bridge, I often draw on what I learned from this book. Let me know if you will read the book.

I’ve also been thinking a lot lately about how seeing myself in this new place makes me look different than I ever imagined.

This phase begins when you stay long enough to move beyond the version of yourself that first arrived and step into the one absorbing the local culture, blending it into something uniquely you!

I completely agree with what was mentioned about shifting from judgment to curiosity. It really is the most important step for building true cultural intelligence
