Wine Label Jargon By | Shital Kakkar Mehra | Executive Presence Coach for CEOs I Business Communication Expert I Best-selling Author I Co-Founder Katalyst, NGO Reading a wine label can be an intimidating task for budding connoisseurs, after all there is too much jargon! If you wish to enjoy drinking wine, it’s important to learn to read wine labels as it helps understand the quality of your drink and ensures you are drinking what you are paying for. The world of wines is clearly divided into two: the old world composed of countries which have centuries old tradition in wine-making (France, Germany, Italy, Spain) where “terroir” is all important and the new world (USA, Chile, South Africa and Australia) which came of age in 19th century, where grape variety is all important. The good news is that India too has found its place on the new world wine map. All good wines have two labels, a larger one in the front and a smaller one at the back of the bottle. Reading the label in front, you will notic... https://human-engineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/GA-Shital-4.jpg https://human-engineers.com/wine-label-jargon/?feed_id=11681&_unique_id=60fea06160385 https://human-engineers.com/wine-label-jargon/?feed_id=11681&_unique_id=60fea06160385

'Brand Ambassador' of your country By | Shital Kakkar Mehra | Executive Presence Coach for CEOs I Business Communication Expert I Best-selling Author I Co-Founder Katalyst, NGO As a businessperson, you are a brand ambassador of both your company & your country. It helps to remember that your foreign counterparts are constantly scrutinizing your behavior and comments; be careful about what you say and how you say it. When discussing your country in cross-border business settings, pay special attention to your remarks as your business associates will perceive them very differently from the way your fellow countrymen would. I have often noticed that a common trap is discussions relating to politics, as business is always influenced by the political reforms. Steer the small talk in business settings to neutral topics e.g. heritage, splendid places to see, the economic progress, academic institutions etc. Republished with permission and originally published at Shital Kakkar Mehra's LinkedIn https://human-engineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/GA-Shital-9.jpg https://human-engineers.com/brand-ambassador-of-your-country/?feed_id=6355&_unique_id=60a78f0f63c90 https://human-engineers.com/brand-ambassador-of-your-country/?feed_id=6355&_unique_id=60a78f0f63c90

Air-kissing in Indian Culture By | Shital Kakkar Mehra | Executive Presence Coach for CEOs I Business Communication Expert I Best-selling Author I Co-Founder Katalyst, NGO Last month when US Diplomat John Kerry visited Paris, his enthusiastic hug led to a cross-cultural faux pas. Although he had indicated his intentions before the trip with the direct "My visit to France is basically to share a big hug for Paris …” when he rushed forward with open arms to embrace the French President, there was a moment of awkwardness as the French do not greet with a hug. The French media tried to find a suitable word to describe 'Le Hug' as most words sounded either too romantic or patronizing and they settled for ‘accolade’. Clearly, the American hug was alien to the French culture, just like air-kissing is alien to the Indian culture. Described as “the pretense of kissing accompanied by the mwah sound”, this form of greeting involves entering another person's personal space by placing your lips a few inches north of their e... https://human-engineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/GA-Shital-10.jpg https://human-engineers.com/air-kissing-in-indian-culture/?feed_id=6162&_unique_id=60a4eaefa7447 https://human-engineers.com/air-kissing-in-indian-culture/?feed_id=6162&_unique_id=60a4eaefa7447
