PWN Stockholm Delves Deeper Into Swedish Culture

In our first afterwork event of 2017, we were excited to have Sofi Tegsveden Deveaux as our guest speaker. Sofi is the cofounder of Bee Swedish, which has been helping companies “crack the Swedish culture code, and understand how Swedish culture affects the way their Swedish business partners or colleagues communicate, in Swedish or English.”

Here are just some of the communication tools, we learned:

Individual – Assume the other person means well.

Interpersonal – Acknowledge common cultural traits rather than focus on the differences.

Organizational – Structure business meetings to allow time for interpersonal interaction.
