Question 1 of 12
Before leaving any meeting or call, do you convert words like 'soon', 'urgent', and 'by the end of the week' into a specific date, time, and time zone?
Yes, every time, without exemption
For major items, but not consistently.
Not usually. I rely on shared assumptions.
Question 2 of 12
When timelines slip, do you have a way to protect the relationship while still anchoring to a specific next step, such as a date, an owner, or a deliverable?
I try, but it breaks down when stakes are high.
I do, and it holds even in difficult conversations.
I improvise and hope the relationship absorbs it.
Question 3 of 12
When a meeting starts drifting off the agenda with a tangent or a subgroup breaking off into its own conversation, do you know when to protect the agenda and when the drift is actually where the real conversation is happening?
I default to protecting the agenda, even when the drift might be worth following.
I don't have a specific approach. I either always stick to the agenda or always let things wander.
I call it in the moment: protect the agenda when it needs protecting or let it run when it's worth following.
Question 4 of 12
Do you know whether to great a counterpart with a handshake or a kiss on the cheek, use their first name or their title and surname, and how/if does that change between a British and a LatAm counterpart?
I do and adjust all three every time.
I get some of it right, but not consistently, especially with people I've just met.
I default to one register handshake, first name, and arm's length) regardless of who's in the room.
Question 5 of 12
When you introduce two people, or open with small talk before getting into business, do you adjust the register (formal or informal, brief or warm, impersonal or personal)?
I adjust the introduction and the small talk, and it lands well on both sides.
I know the difference in theory but default to one style in the moment especially when I'm hosting.
I use the same introduction and small talk everywhere.
Question 6 of 12
Before a first meeting or event, do you check what the dress code actually signals on each side, rather than assuming your usual choice will read the same way?
I have a general sense but don't always check for the specific meeting or city.
I check the dress code and I err formal when unsure.
I wear the same thing regardless of who I'm meeting or where.
Question 7 of 12
Are you confident you can read status and hierarchy in a UK or LatAm room: who needs to be acknowledged first, when a title matters more than a first name, and when formality is a sign of respect rather than distance?
Somewhat. I still misread situations, especially under pressure.
This is a real blind spot for me.
I read and respond to these cues consistently.
Question 8 of 12
Before pushing for decisions, do you invest in the kind of trust-building that your counterparts actually value?
I build trust with intent and know the difference between how LatAm and the UK build trust.
I build rapport, but it isn't always strategic or well-timed.
I underinvest in relationship-building and move to outcomes fast.
Question 9 of 12
When a disagreement needs resolving, do you match the channel to the counterpart, or do you resolve every conflict the same way regardless of who's on the other side?
I default to my own preferred channel, even when I know it might not land the same way for the other side.
I haven't thought about this. I handle every disagreement the same way.
I choose the resolution channel deliberately, based on whom I'm dealing with.
Question 10 of 12
Do you strategically adjust how you communicate (medium, directness, pace, turn-taking) to fit the room you're in or do you default to one style and expect others to adjust to you?
I choose style and medium strategically and they hold under pressure.
Sometimes, but I default to my own style when stakes are high or time is short.
I use one medium and one style and assume it lands the same way everywhere.
Question 11 of 12
Do you actively surface hidden disagreement (the polite yes, the silence, the ambiguous response) and turn it into shared meaning without causing anyone to lose face?
Occasionally, but I miss it more than I should.
I name the gap and navigate it cleanly.
I take words at face value and find out later.
Question 12 of 12
In your most sensitive British-LatAm conversations, do you know exactly who has access to what's being said, in which language, and through which channel?
I have a clear protocol and it holds under pressure.
I'm cautious, but there are gaps I haven't closed.
I haven't give this deliberate thought.
