A few weeks ago I booked Oreo’s Mexico – it could have been difficult with 7 people on the session & most did not speak English – DON’T LET LANGUAGE BE A BARRIER!

I don’t speak Spanish well…but I speak it well enough to understand most things. Only 1 person spoke English well, she would what was discussed but I paid attention so I had a pretty good idea what direction was coming.

Learning the basics OR just paying attention can make any directed session better regardless of language.

For example, a buddy of mine lives in the USA but does about 80% of his business in Europe. He knows very little of the foreign languages because they want a US English talent – he keeps getting booked for more! Working internationally is difficult…but it doesn’t have to be impossible – don’t allow language to be a barrier. That goes for both the talent and buyer. If you try a little you can get a lot!
