Saving Face: How Diplomats and Global Leaders Preserve Dignity and Build Trust

“Saving face” is a universal concept that enables us to connect with people, break down barriers, and build trust and long-term relationships. When the phrase “it’s not about the money” is used, the real issue is often about face. Face is the new social currency of our time. Face represents one’s self-esteem, self-worth, identity, reputation, status, pride, and dignity. The more face one has, the easier and faster one can get things done.

Join an "E-Talk-About" on Tuesday, August 11th at 5PM Pacific Time as Maya Hu-Chan, author of "Saving Face: How to Preserve Dignity and Build Trust", explains how we as diplomats and global leaders can honor face to build trust, avoid causing others to lose face, and most importantly, build authentic, lasting relationships inside and outside the workplace. She will also discuss “saving face” in the context of COVID-19 when these relationships are more complicated to navigate online.
