Have you ever felt misunderstood even when you were speaking the same language? In today’s global workplace, communication isn’t just about what we say, but how our words are understood through different cultural lenses.
In this episode of REVUP Your Leadership, we are joined by John Edward McGraw, a Multicultural Workplace Expert and founder of Hiyaku Coaching (“Hiyaku” meaning leap forward in Japanese). With over fifteen years of experience bridging cultures in Japan and Canada, John helps leaders and teams develop cultural fluency, break down communication barriers, and collaborate with impact.
We dive deep into why shared language doesn’t always mean shared meaning — and what inclusive leaders can do about it. We also explore why cultural awareness is critical to effective leadership, how the LEAP tool can help you reset and reconnect in moments of misunderstanding, ways to stay curious and aware of your own cultural lens, practical strategies to build more inclusive, high-performing teams, and more.
If you lead across borders, backgrounds, or perspectives, this episode will help you make the LEAP forward toward more authentic connection and shared success.
