Recently "Globalization" has brought cognitive changes among the professionals and also paved way to communicate across cultures for negotiations, discussions, meetings and conferences to achieve corporate goals in their career. During the interpersonal process, the influence of culture on communication is so strong that invisible source of great misunderstandings arise between people from different regions. This is mainly due to the differences in their cultural values and perceptions involved in the communicative situation. Nowadays, women are found in all types of work atmosphere and as a result, they do face communication challenges in a multicultural diversity. One of the prominent barriers identified among the professional women is the emotional influence to their interpersonal skills, especially in cross cultural communication.
