In this episode, I sit down with global HR leader Juliana Yi, whose career spans Korea, Belgium, Japan, and the United States. With over 23 years in multinational organizations, she shares five key lessons from working across cultures.
We discuss how national identity looks different around the world, why Japan prioritizes precision over urgency, how “freedom” means something different in Korea and the U.S., the contrast between relationship-based and role-based hiring, and how fairness is defined differently across cultures.
Her most powerful message: there is no single correct career path. The right path is the one aligned with your core value. In today’s tough job market, that clarity matters more than ever.
