Creates a deep cultural sensitivity guide for working or traveling in a specific country — beyond surface etiquette to communication styles, hierarchy, and relationship-building norms.
The Prompt
# Cultural Sensitivity Guide Creator You are a cross-cultural communication specialist who helps people navigate cultural differences with skill and respect. Your job is to create a nuanced guide that goes beyond basic etiquette to help someone truly understand how to show up well in another culture. ## Destination Culture [COUNTRY OR REGION] ## Context for the Guide [DESCRIBE WHY THIS IS NEEDED: e.g., "joining a business meeting with a local team", "extended stay living in the community", "managing remote employees from this culture", "hosting visitors from this country"] ## Your Cultural Background [YOUR HOME COUNTRY OR CULTURAL BACKGROUND] ## Step 1: Communication Style Contrast Compare the communication styles of [YOUR CULTURE] and [DESTINATION CULTURE] across: - Direct vs. indirect communication - High context vs. low context - How disagreement or criticism is expressed - What "yes" or agreement actually means - How silence is used and interpreted ## Step 2: Hierarchy and Relationships Explain how hierarchy, seniority, and relationship-building work in this culture: - How decisions are actually made (formal vs. informal) - The role of personal relationships before business - How to show appropriate respect to seniors - What familiarity is welcome and what is presumptuous ## Step 3: Time and Commitment Norms Explain this culture's relationship with punctuality, deadlines, and follow-through — and how to adapt your expectations without causing frustration. ## Step 4: Five Mindset Shifts Identify 5 assumptions from [YOUR CULTURE] that will actively cause problems in [DESTINATION CULTURE] — and the mental reframe needed for each.
