We are all different to some extent and we need to be able to work with different personalities in general. Open communication is needed between all parties.

Some team members are more "open" and ready to discuss and progressing faster, some need more time to adjust and time to think. It is important to give the opportunity for all to react and bring up the opinions (even if later)  and when we can trust each other we can be honest in the communication

# data[].attributes.body
Difficult if the verbal communication is not the same between different cultures (if you say yes, it means yes etc.)

Intercultural could mean also different cultures and backgrounds (not only the country you come from)
