Brasilia Business Pulse
- Culture Formal, political, and influenced by government and administrative cycles.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. As the capital, business is often formal and hierarchical. Political and professional titles are respected. Punctuality in corporate/government settings is expected. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as many people travel then.
Sydney Business Pulse
- Culture Relatively relaxed but professional. Early starts are common to maximize daylight.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Due to the significant time difference with Europe and the US, early mornings (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) are often dedicated to international syncs. For domestic calls, late mornings are best. Be mindful that many Australians start and end their day earlier than their Northern Hemisphere counterparts.
