Cultural Diversity: Working Across Boundaries

Description

We all have certain perceptions of those around us. Those perceptions come from our environment, the region/country in which we were raised, our cultural background, and what we learned from friends and family. Those perceptions affect how we work and interact with others of different cultural backgrounds. By understanding others’ cultural backgrounds, we learn how best to interact with those individuals and we learn to speak with them as individuals – not as someone from a particular culture or our perception of their culture. The better you understand those around you, the more effective your communications and interpersonal interactions. While no individual completely represents their cultural background – we are all unique – this workshop provides information that enables for improved communications and interactions across boundaries, improving how the work gets accomplished in an organization.

  • Improve teamwork
