b'I bet that every diplomat and those who live the diplomatic life can share several stories about how their accent made it challenging to be understood. \\n\\nThese stories are often hilarious, and the memories stick with us for years. Indeed, you\\u2019re probably thinking of an example right now and smiling. If that\\u2019s the case: good! You know EXACTLY what I\\u2019m talking about. \\n\\nBut these stories are funny until they\\u2019re not. \\n\\nLanguage issues make it difficult to communicate. We can be scared to answer the phone. We can retreat into linguistic bubbles and only talk to people with whom it\\u2019s easy to communicate and who understand us. \\n\\nOur capacity to stay resilient can be tested by little things like ordering a coffee. Let\\u2019s stop for a few moments and have a chat about that. \\n \\nWant to talk with me directly? Get me in your corner through my mentoring services as you live your diplomatic life.
