Posted on by Andreea Sepi in BRANDING, COMMUNICATION, CONSULTING ROMANIA, GERMANY, INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE TRAINING, Negotiations, Presentations, Psychology, Rhetoric, Speech Communication, TRANSCREATION, Written Communication

Last time we talked about communication, which is one of the main ways we interact with OTHER PEOPLE. In fact, everything we do can be termed "communication", as it results in different types of messages and human beings are meaning-making creatures. This time, I'd like to talk a little more about power dynamics, decision-making, and … Continue reading A Quick Guide to Romanian Culture – OTHER HUMANS →

Posted on by Andreea Sepi in Übersetzungen, COMMUNICATION, INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION, Psychology, Rhetoric, Speech Communication, TRANSCREATION, TRANSLATION, Written Communication

As award-winning blogger Maria Popova once said, "We can never see the world as it really is". And that's because, on the one hand, we are part of the very system we are trying to describe, and on the other because the things we perceive make little or no sense to us until we plot … Continue reading How Do We Make Sense of Things?

In our lives, change is inevitable. It's always on the prowl, in the background, hiding behind an illusion of stability and safety.

Posted on by Andreea Sepi in BRANDING, COMMUNICATION, CONSULTING ROMANIA, GERMANY, INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE TRAINING, MARKETING, Speech Communication, Traduceri Romana, TRANSCREATION, TRANSLATION, Written Communication

The other day I saw an ad for a subtitling job. It was in one of my language combinations, (English into Romanian), and it was for religious content. As I have successfully translated religious and philosophical essays before, I felt it was right up my alley and decided to apply.  While waiting to receive additional … Continue reading Subtleties of Romanian: The Not-so-solemn Distinction Between “Mantuire” and “Mantuiala” →

Language and Cognition – Can Linguistic Choices Lead to “Bad Thinking”?

The language we use and our own intra/interpersonal communication style impact how we experience and interpret our world and our life. They might even end up defining how … Continue reading Language and Cognition – Can Linguistic Choices Lead to “Bad Thinking”? →

Authentic Branding in an Intercultural World

"Be a first-rate version of yourself, not a second-rate version of someone else." - Judy Garland. In the current context, imitation and a mismatch between claim and reality (hypocrisy) rarely go unnoticed or unpunished by customers, and social media is amplifying the process. Companies need to harness this transformative power, embrace criticism openly and honestly, engage … Continue reading Authentic Branding in an Intercultural World →

Posted on by Andreea Sepi in Übersetzungen, Brand management, COMMUNICATION, CONSULTING ROMANIA, GERMANY, Decision-making, INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE TRAINING, MARKETING, Negotiations, Presentations, Speech Communication, Traduceri Romana, Translation English

Exploring other cultures is a fun thing to do on vacation, but for business people it is more than a curiosity. For executives, getting it right can make the difference between an organisation that runs smoothly and generates results, and one that seems to be falling apart. And by it I mean, of course, the cultural … Continue reading The cross-cultural office dilemma →
