Discussion #4: Diversity, Inclusion and Communication WK 9-10

Must post first. Sometimes when we are in school learning advanced concepts, things can seem a bit abstract until we are able to see or experience concrete examples. The link below is a short talk by Ricardo Fernandez, a Spaniard, who leads a team of up to 30 people from several different countries, and the communication challenges associated with this international remote working team. He is not an expert, nor an academic, but he has the kind of practical experience that is useful for a discussion…and for your potential similar encounters.
