● Intercultural Communication
Our world is more interconnected and diverse than ever. So, in everyday organizational life, we are more likely to come across people from cultures that are different from the one we grew up in.

● Unconscious Bias
We will define “unconscious bias” and identify the biases we all have. By using mindfulness techniques to not act on biases, we can contribute to a shift, both in our personal and work environments. We will also explore ways to manage the biases of others.
