Cultural Competency
More Than Flags, Foods, and Festivals
In-Person or Virtual
To be culturally competent is to go beyond recognizing (or even celebrating) diversity to developing an awareness of how our individual identities and backgrounds impact our interactions with others. It also means using that knowledge to strengthen our ability to interact successfully with all kinds of people and improve outcomes in relationships both personally and professionally.
We are all influenced by our backgrounds and the societies in which we live. Differences in race, age, gender, nationality, and many other factors can contribute to assumptions being made on both sides of an interaction.
This training program will introduce participants to the ways that the human brain is primed to form biases and how we can become better at recognizing and overcoming them.
Building on that awareness, we’ll examine how one’s attitude, knowledge, and skill set can all be bolstered to improve interpersonal relationships, team cohesion, and workplace culture.
