It can throw me off, but I look for the reasoning behind that way of doing things.

“Culture may play a role here, and I know how to approach it.”

“There may be a difference in the way we do things.”

“I don’t really understand what just happened.”

I try to understand, but I do not always know how to go about it.

I ask questions and draw on what I have learned from similar situations.

I take a step back and consciously adjust the way I communicate.

I feel comfortable in some situations, but less so in others.
