Sometimes, our genuine attempts at connecting with others get lost in translation. Whether it’s a coworker or a client of a different cultural background, religion, or gender expression, the key to effective communication is to first acknowledge your own biases that shape your world view. In this health talk session, attendees will learn new communication techniques rooted in listening, mindfulness, and empathy. You will discuss what it takes to work with people from different backgrounds, paying close attention to cultural nuances compounded by language, socioeconomic backgrounds, and more. Spoiler alert—this session is not about them, it’s all about you.
