Open Circle
Sandy Britton presents “Letting Mexico Mellow You Out” at the next meeting of Open Circle, Sunday, February 12, 10:30 a.m. at the Lake Chapala Society.
When you travel to, do business with, or move to another country, the culture clash can puzzle and even frustrate you—or it can expand your mind and change the way you see things. Britton will share how the concept of “cultural intelligence” helped her understand her adopted country better, but even more important, how her time in Mexico has altered her view of life.
Britton is from northern California. Her background is in software development and dog training, but she combines her love of cultural sociology and public speaking to bring you this presentation.
