Just started this course, and I have to say it felt like a practical roadmap for anyone trying to navigate the American workplace. Coming from a different cultural background, I often worried about whether my communication style or work habits would fit in, but this course broke things down in a way that was both clear and relatable. The modules on workplace culture were eye-opening. They explained not just the obvious things like punctuality and professionalism, but also the subtler aspects, like how Americans value direct communication, individual initiative, and networking. I appreciated the real-world examples, which made it easier to picture how these values play out in meetings, emails, or even casual office conversations. The section on communication was especially useful. It covered everything from writing concise emails to handling small talk, and even how to disagree respectfully without sounding confrontational. I tried applying some of these tips in my own work, and I noticed right away that my colleagues responded more positively.
