Terri Morrison Comes to Raleigh

Terri Morrison Comes to Raleigh

On the 24th of September the TICOR (Triad International Council of REALTORS) held their international day at the Raleigh Regional association of REALTORS. I was fortunate enough to be a menu item for the afternoon. Terri Morrison was the entre for the morning.

Her presentation was totally packed with cultural tidbits. As much as I would like to itemize the things I learned, they seem like trivia without their context. All I can do is recommend very highly the new edition of her book, “Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands”. I know you have probably already read the old version. You probably keep it as a reference in your home or office. As great as it is you need to get the new version not just for the changes in the book; but for the changes that have taken place in the different cultures.

Cultures are so dynamic. Think about the world where you grew up. Think about how your families’ and friend’s attitudes and behaviors have changed. Other cultures are morphing as well. This is especially noticeable in some of the emerging economies. Changes in these places take place overnight.
