Episode 13: Craig Storti

Podcast

As you can tell if you listen to this podcast, I was really excited to get to have a personal conversation with Craig Storti. It was only after reading his book, Speaking of India, that I was first able to pinpoint some of the unique challenges that face anyone working with India.

Craig, who started out as a US Peace Corps volunteer, is extremely down-to-earth, and shares a lot of the wisdom he has gained over his many years.

 

Here are some highlights:

  • Why being an expat doesn’t qualify you for cultural understanding
  • What’s in the new edition of Speaking of India?
  • Virtual working tips
  • How different India is today vs. the Y2K years
  • Why the best advice is still to pick up the phone
  • The current state of intercultural training
  • What Craig still struggles with about India

 

We reference a few articles in this conversation that you can find here:

  • Training tips in India
  • Why I Wouldn’t Spend $500 on Cross-Cultural Training
  • Grey is White

 

You can find Craig’s website here, and all of his books on Amazon here.
