Dr. Emmanuel Ngomsi, "Local or Global, Cultural Diversity Is for All" All of us view the world through “cultural lenses” constructed by us or imposed upon us by society. When people from different cultures, backgrounds or nationalities work together, there are inevitable moments of misunderstanding during which communication seems to be difficult. The first and major step toward successful interaction with others—whose lenses are different from our own—is to become aware of the presence and the impact of these lenses on our daily attitudes and behaviors. Participants will identify cultural obstacles, develop strategies to break cultural barriers, and enhance their ability to build cultural bridges in order to work together more harmoniously and productively in a diverse workplace. |
