Working Beyond Borders

Whether virtual or face-to-face,
cross cultures in ways that strengthen your teams

With Joshua Davies

With clients and colleagues worldwide, it is crucial to understand the benefits cultural awareness can bring, not just on an organizational level, but to each of us on a very human scale. When communication becomes a conflict, we have a tendency to excuse ourselves, and accuse others, especially when they are geographically or culturally distant. Our ability to truly perspective-take, to understand others and not simply place blame, is vital to our personal and professional success. Cultural competence is a complex set of awareness, attitudes, and skills that allow you to interact in ways that are appropriate, respectful, and relevant. In this session, we’ll explore Erin Meyer’s Culture Map and how to leverage it to better understand and reach others.
