OFFICE HOURS: Building Cultural Empathy: Easing Friction Across Teams

About this session

Globalization is making us 'closer' by having to work with teams across geographies. However, are you truly close to your teams? Do you have the same connection with people from different cultures, in different locations? I believe that connected teams are happier teams and happier teams are more productive. Join me to learn about building cultural sensitivity and establishing a harmonic work culture.

You will walk away from this chat with:

  • An understanding of why cultural sensitivity is important
  • How to create a more harmonious workplace with people across different cultures and timezones
