Every culture, organization, and person operates under an "overstory"—a dominant narrative so pervasive it's nearly invisible. In this episode, Amy and Bernie unpack Malcolm Gladwell's concept of overstories and explore what it means for cross-cultural workers who are constantly navigating between competing narratives. If you've ever felt disoriented, misunderstood, or stuck in a cultural context, or just curious about what's going on, this concept might explain why.📕 The Revenge of the Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell📝 The online Holistic Conference for Global Workers (includes the Overstories worksheet and the bonus resource of Toxic Leadership Assessment).
