Empowering Women to Connect Cross-Culturally: Bridging the Gap
Now more than ever, an organization’s success depends on its ability to embrace a cross-cultural mindset. Traditionally, the benefit of this commitment to diversity is attributed to creating products and services that appropriately serve an ever-increasing diverse population. What many organizations fail to realize, however, is that not only must this global mindset be cultivated from within the organization first, but this internal shift can also have significant measurable benefits. Organizations that successfully embrace their internal cross-cultural diversity and actively encourage connection throughout all levels can expect increased productivity, improved morale, and decreased turnover.
In this engaging, interactive training, Shanna leads teams in exploring the impact and benefits of cross-cultural connections and the role diversity has played in her life. Team members will leave with a foundational understanding of unconscious bias and its influence in the workplace. They will also have tools and techniques to conquer stereotypes and create an inclusive environment.
Participants will learn to:
- Conquer stereotypes and create an inclusive environment that brings teams together and promotes a sense of belonging.
- Understand biases and how to bridge the gap and create powerful allies. A shift in mindset from defensive to curious creates a win-win formula.
- Simple tools that facilitate authentic connections that foster a more inclusive environment
