Addis Ababa Business Pulse

Culture Diplomatic and growing rapidly. Home to the African Union.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Ethiopia uses its own unique 12-hour clock (counting from 6 AM as "Hour 1"); always clarify "European Time" or "GMT/UTC" when scheduling to avoid confusion. Business is polite, formal, and values personal trust.

Toronto Business Pulse

Culture Multicultural, polite, and professional. Similar to NYC but generally more reserved.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Canadians value punctuality and a polite, reserved professional tone. It is similar to NYC but with slightly more emphasis on consensus and less on aggressive directness. Avoid calling after 4:30 PM when the work day is concluding.
