Workshop: Self Awareness and Cultural Dynamics
Location:
- Garden A
When:
- Friday
Prerequisites
Our teams, organizations, and customers are made up of people from around the world who think, act, and respond differently than we do. Within our own culture, our backgrounds, personalities, and communication styles also vary greatly and shift depending on context. These factors unconsciously drive our behavior and affect the way we interact with others and get work done. As we develop a more nuanced understanding of culture, group dynamics, and ourselves, we are able to build stronger connections, have more influence, and negotiate human systems more effectively.
This engaging and interactive workshop explores these intersections and allows you to see in real-time how they play out in subtle and not so subtle ways. You will leave with tools to recognize different cultural communication styles, with a better understanding of the power of cultural norms on human behavior, and with awareness to help you more fluidly adapt to your colleagues and customers.
