Intercultural Leadership

Increasing Our Intercultural Competency: Practical, Personal Steps for Becoming More Inclusive
Cottonwood, 2:00-2:40pm (Session Period 1)

This presentation is geared towards anyone who would like to learn how they can set goals and make progress in becoming more interculturally competent. Through reflective exercises, participants will identify a culture or identity group they want to learn more about. Then, we will set goals and share ideas for how we each can make progress in our learning. The cohort will have the opportunity to stay in contact to hold each other accountable for the goal we have individually set and to learn from each other in the process of reflection, contemplation, and vulnerability.

Similarly, organizations can realize greater growth with sustainable inclusion practices.
