3. why and own research about the topic
I decided to attend this seminar because of the popularity the USA has in terms of
business activities and as this was in line with the course goals of the international
business management course. Moreover, since the speaker happened to be my
teacher in courses like international business communication and international
business culture I thought it interesting to attend this seminar of hers as she
always told us she is a speaker and a trainer in cultural competence apart from
teaching. I jumped to the internet and read more over doing business in the USA
which to be honest was not very clear. One of my researches I made about this topic
that rendered me to asking for clarification on the day of the seminar was the
people in the states being highly contexted.

Like always the guest speaker Mrs. Kelly delivered an educative package which
opened my mind and also arose my interest for doing business in the states one day.
She was able to explain and reveled some unacceptable words , behaviors and signs
which could lead to complications. As she spoke I got to realize the USA had a bit in
common with my home culture. We had cultural similarities like masculinity and
competitiveness.

involved her audience by using some of us as actors to demonstrating some signs for
clarifications. In the end she made sure her information was passed across by a fun
and interesting quiz she made with Kahoot. I honestly paid attention to her
presenting skills and took a bit of it which I would use in my future career

First of all I thought the English level of the speaker was phenomenal. I knew he’s
Belgian (according to my research in advance) but really he sounded like a native
English speaker. The way he brought his message, his story was so inspiring; you could
see the passion for this subject matter in his eyes. In addition, he was very interactive
with the audience and even gave away books to the people who answered his
questions correctly. To top it all, there was free pizza during the seminar, so the party
was on.

12.  Why and own research
the topic said it all. Its indeed a struggle to combine business these days with other
life related aspects. People spend all of their time in the office space which is sad to
see or hear about. As a result this caught my attention as I happen to be a
dedicated fitness guy. As I researched about the topic there was a whooping 89
percent of employees that admitted they hardly had time in bettering themselves
outside of work than thinking about work

gave most insight about the existing work to life experience and stressed on the
increasing amount of burn out as a result of multitasking.

future work life and my fitness life.
