Answer preview

Global businesses require a person to understand how other people think and do based on their culture. It is because marketing at a global level can have challenges of a language barrier and cultural differences. After listening to Ms. Lisa La Bonte’s message, I found that the subject matter was all about cultural sensitivity and choosing a different path to success. From her advice, I learned that one has to come out of his/her comfort zone to succeed in international business. Looking at how Lisa finally became an international businessperson, it is evident that she had to come out of her comfort zone. After she moved to Hawaii and dealt with people from different ethnic groups, she knew how to handle different kinds of people (Zoom, n.d).
