U.S. Workplace Culture for International Professionals in San Diego
About this Event
The Insider Series
Real talk on the unwritten rules of working and connecting in the U.S.Reach out anytime at [email protected] — happy to help!
Nobody hands you a guide when you arrive.
You figure out the job. The city. The commute. But the unwritten rules — how to small talk with a coworker, how networking actually works here, why some things feel so off even when you're doing everything "right" — those you're expected to just know.
This is the guide.
The Insider Series is a monthly gathering and networking event for international professionals in San Diego who want honest, practical conversations about navigating life and work in the U.S. — from someone who has spent 16+ years helping people do exactly that.
This gathering includes:
— A 15-minute expert perspective on the topic
— 30 minutes of facilitated group discussion
— 30 minutes of open networking and socializing
No lectures. No PowerPoints. Just real conversation with a small, curated group of international professionals across industries who are figuring out the same things you are.
This month's topic: Workplace Culture & Unwritten Rules
How do you read the unwritten rules of a workplace when nobody's written them down? We'll talk about what's really going on beneath the surface of U.S. workplace culture — and how to navigate it with confidence. You'll leave with practical tips you can apply as soon as you return to work the next week.
