Culture and Diversity

Achieving a cultural change is not a “click of the fingers” exercise. It needs a well thought out, communicated and executed plan. The challenge is that organisations can skip the planning stage, as cross-cultural activities are often intangible and subjective. You might have the best plan and intentions, but your people will perceive the information differently. Clarity of purpose is essential. In this course, participants will learn how to be change agents. Participants will discover how to leverage emotional intelligence to influence and champion change. “Nearly there” isn’t good enough, as any advances can unwind quickly unless they are embedded and fully understood. This course will also help participants stay focused and motivated to achieve their objectives.

Cross Cultural Coaching 4.2 out of 5 based on 24 user ratings.

Our conditioning and cultural backgrounds influence our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours. We tend to see the world through our own limited cultural experiences. This perspective is short-sighted as we now operate in a more culturally diverse society. This makes cultural awareness in the workplace essential to improve work relationships and prevent cultural conflicts. By being culturally aware, employees will be able to engage better with colleagues and treat differences with respect.

In fact, culture is often misunderstood. It is not merely different ethnicities, but in fact is much wider. Consider different age groups, different religious beliefs, sexual preferences, indigenous cultures and more. The LGBTQI movement is helping shed light on the impact of culture

Designed by a team of organisational psychologists, change managers and cross-cultural experts this course will help springboard your cultural ambitions. The course is a wakeup call to participants that culturally diversity is everywhere.

The tide of cultural change has never been bigger and it will continue to grow. By understanding what is cultural awareness in the workplace, it will be possible for businesses to increase the productivity, communication and unity in the workplace.

“The single greatest barrier to business success is the one erected by culture.”

— Edward T. Hall and Mildred Reed Hall
