• Drive - boost your motivation for and confidence in interacting with other cultures
• Knowledge - understand the relevance of differences in religion, values, norms, and languages
• Strategy - plan ahead for unfamiliar cultural settings, but remain flexible if actual experience differs from expectations
• Action - successfully adapt your behavior to each situation
