    I arrived here because I wanted to learn how to use my difference to make a difference. Tayo spoke to my summer internship class at Moody’s Corporation in 2016-it’s great to see him across LinkedIn and RUclips spreading a message, posing questions. His public speaking has improved tremendously; no stage is too big or small. Keep going, Tayo!!

    Understanding the differences around you, then finding the commonalities around them is art of diplomacy.
    Embrace art of diplomacy
    1. Get knowledge - To collect information - Observe things around you - what makes people feel good and what makes people feel sad. Can be a game. Coming together for a common goal.
    2. By being an active listener - Establish mutual trust to foster a positive collaboration - learn how to listen to obtain info. Goal is to understand.
    3. Become an active member of community - widens your perspective and able to approach problem with better perspective
    Learn culture competence skill
    World is bigger than you. If you want to win at it. You need to understand it.

    Exactly my father was a history teacher, and my mother works retail. And we lived in a Small Town. But I always showed the World is Small but also big and you got to work with all of it to be successful even not as a Diplomat.
    And during this Virus I am working on Lamguage Learning because I now have a goal to be a Diplomat. Funny thing is this is a good time to see that Global Commonality. In a Pandemic and Road Signs most of those are the same too.
    Also it's all Common Sense.

    Undrestand differences around you and find the commonalities within them. First is by collecting informations and get knowlege. Bt reading news and getting informed. Second is to be an active listener. Third is to be an active member of the community. Constantly put yourself where you're the odd one. Putting yourself in a group different than you help you understand difference and introduce to a bigger world.

      Impatient Samurai so one thing to always keep in mind is that reading wide and being curious is very important. They sound simple but I cannot tell you how often knowledge about random facts helped my dad build rapport.
      You also want to always be able to speak about things from a macro and micro perspective. So no matter what your opinion might be on a particular issue, be able to articulate the multiple sides before offering an opinion.
      A good show to watch to see example of this would be Madam Secretary.
