Description

In Episode 12, we welcome John Onoda, a principal at iQ 360, a strategic consulting firm with current clients in the United States and Japan. He has led communications at companies including General Motors, Levi Strauss, Visa USA and Charles Schwab. He also has decades of experience providing counsel to major global corporations, universities, NGOs and government agencies. He is a member of the U.S.-Japan Council, and currently serves on the board of the Page Center for Integrity in Public Communication.We discuss how John's upbringing in Gary, IN (where the only other Asians were his family members) affected his identity; how he taught himself to succeed in communications as an introvert; the importance of cultivating our humanity to thrive as individuals and workers even while technology increasingly takes over our jobs; how reading trains us to empathize with others and helps us fight forces that divide us; and how we can "find our tribe" by exploring different lifestyles.For more information on John, please see photos (and the episode transcript) here: https://crossworld-puzzles.com/episode12-john/. CrossWorld Puzzles is a podcast that explores how multicultural individuals consider life’s big questions, such as where to be based, how to build their career, who to spend their life with, etc.
