  1. Tips for Expats – Navigating American Bussiness Culture verbalbridges.com

  2. Tip #1 It is important to remember that Americans’ communication style is direct and straight to the point.

  3. Tip #2 • Now whilst Americans are very friendly concerning body language, there is a “noncontact culture.” Americans consider their personal space very important.

  4. Tip #3 • If you worked in a traditional company where seniority is taken into consideration, this may seem strange, but it will seem even stranger within an American work culture to be excessively formal.

  5. Tip #4 • It may be typical in other work cultures to feel pressured to go to after-work socials, events, and dinners, but in the American work culture, this is not promoted, and autonomy is rather encouraged (Chung, Heejung; Van der Lippe, 2020).

  6. Tip #5 • Nodding your head from side to side or engaging in other non-verbal communication will be considered confusing, and you will not be perceived as a team player participating in the meeting.
