Language and Ideas

Beryl Cui is a Cross-Cultural Communication Trainer and English Instructor who moved from Beijing to Maine to begin a new chapter. In this episode of Radio Maine, Cui joins Dr. Lisa Belisle to share her journey from corporate language training in China to building connection and community in Portland. For over a decade, she has coached CEOs and business leaders to communicate with clarity, confidence, and cultural awareness—teaching that language is more than grammar; it is trust, mindset, and relationship. Now in Maine, she is blending that expertise with her lifelong practice of Chinese calligraphy, creating personalized artwork that reflects both meaning and identity. Thoughtful and energetic, Cui reflects on courage, small acts of change, and the power of stepping into discomfort—whether giving a speech, moving across the world, or jumping into cold water.
