What to expect

Informal: People learn and absorb most when they feel relaxed, so the workshop is designed to be fun and memorable

Interactive: This is not a speech – you will be involved in activities. Only by participating in this experiential learning can you really enjoy and benefit from the content

Fast-paced: I have honed this content over many years. Participants should be comfortable with knowledge about unconscious bias and cultural diversity

Designed for behavior change: The workshop is designed to help people change their behaviors to become more culturally effective.

Fun: When we feel relaxed about our own cultures and the way in which they are perceived and understood by those from different cultures, we can start to really reach across the cultural divide to influence and work at a high level of impact. This is where the fun lies!
