How can an Immigrant to the US Adapt Their Speaking Style for Success with Prof. Arjun Buxi

Arjun Buxi is a Professor of Communication and a motivational speaker. He has developed the “Culture of Speak,” which shows immigrants how to communicate more effectively, what makes a good speaker, and how to identify audiences in order to effectively deliver a message – not only in a professional setting, but in our day-to-day conversations.

You can connect with him on email.

I had the pleasure of having Professor Buxi on my podcast as a guest, and during my time with him, he discussed:

How he adjusted to the overall culture of the United States
How he refined his tone and vocabulary in order to connect to the audience
How no two audiences are the same, and each culture (even business culture) uses different phrases, intonations, and idioms in order to communicate
The differences between Manuscript, Memorized, and Extemporaneous communication delivery patterns across global cultures
The difference between circular and linear communication delivery
How to combine informal speaking with important message content
How to keep an audience engaged with successful transitions, analogies, and humor
