The objective of this one-day workshop is to raise individual awareness of cultural similarities and differences and how to address them. It is divided into two sessions. The first focuses on getting to know ourselves – our preconceptions, our biases, our attitudes. The second focuses on getting to know other people. Time is given at various points for self-reflection.

Prior to the workshop, participants are asked to submit a list of countries they work with and from that list we look at the top six, comparing them always to the home country for reference. We look at cultural competence and cultural intelligence by exploring models from Hofstede, Kahneman, and Lewis.

The workshop is interactive using a discussion format leveraging shared experiences.
