“We don’t teach to cultures; we teach and communicate with individual people, so there are always exceptions to the rule.”
(From “Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands” by Terri Morrison, et al. (1995), Adams Media Corporation).

“Before you can inspire, before you can touch minds and create effective outcomes, you must first connect.”
(MVT adapted this from a line in Designing Across Cultures book by Lipton, p.181)
