Recently, a photo taken from a seemingly Intel training manual reveals some tips of communicating with Israelis. This photo has been circling fervently with Israelis on the social media.
Here are some tips for establishing effective relationships and communication with people from Israel:
- Present ideas clearly and concisely
- Expect to be cut off regularly during a presentation
- Israelis prefer to ask questions and discuss issues immediately rather than wait until the end of a presentation, and it is best to pause and respond to them…
- Israelis are generally fond of debate and will typically discuss any topic very passionately
- Visitors are often taken back by the tone or loudness of the discussion..
The honesty of this photo makes every Israeli chuckles, because these points are actually very true. There is more to this though, which is not shown in this photo, contains very important points – avoiding political discussion with Israelis. Most of Israelis have family members or friends fell victims to the political cause, so you should avoid confront with their point of views; after all, respect is the universal keyword.
Family value is very important to most Israelis, hence asking about the family wellness is generally welcome provided not to probe into personal life. If you want to build a better personal relationship with your Israeli acquaintances, you can either talk about family or sports.
