It's very important to examine your personal level of intercultural communication competence. My personal level of intercultural communication competence is high because of the fact that for one I have been all over the world to include Ireland, Germany, France, Belgium, Austria, Italy, South Korea, Luxembourg, England, Japan and Kyrgyzstan. I have lived and traveled all over the world but the fact of the matter is, that you have to have respect everyone’s culture, value and beliefs. It is important for me to achieve a certain level of intercultural communication competence because as a human being I want to be able to connect with anyone even if we don’t have the same beliefs, but be able to relate to whoever. Enhanced intercultural communication competence would help me personally because it will just help me be able to relate to each individual. Enhanced intercultural communication competence would help me professionally and academically because I can just talk about all of experiences that I have been gone through which seems normal to me, but to a lot of civilians it is not because I literally have apart of history while serving in The United States Air Force over the last decade. I can also apply what I have learned through my journey to business, life and supervising my subordinates. “Many U.S. companies recognize the existence of two distinct potential advantages present due to cultural differences within the nation's borders. First, a rich pool of new employees with diverse perspectives and interests infuses energy into a company's operations. Second, many cultural groups, including Hispanics and Asian Americans, offer valuable target market segments that may be reached” (Baack, 2012, p.2.4)
