MET Conversations

MET Conversations are work-themed Zoom chats for members, hosted by Rebecca Porwit, Kathryn Smyth and Annabel Browne. At the start of each session, we split participants into small, random groups to discuss the theme of the day.

Lasting an hour, these conversations are the perfect place for peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and networking, for experts and novices alike.

Do you or your clients ever get culture shock? Working across languages and cultures requires sensitivity to different perceptions of politeness, hierarchies and social norms. What’s more, each professional culture has its own jargon and ingrained ways of communicating. Join Gary Smith to share tips on navigating cultural obstacles.
