Building Powerful Relationships in a Culturally Diverse Society @ Scottsdale Community College
Apr 6 @ 8:00 am – 12:00 pm

America is one of the most culturally diverse societies on earth. Whether it is based on race, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability or communication style, you are more likely than ever to find yourself in a diverse organizational setting. While this diversity offers many benefits, it can also create barriers that inhibit the development of personal and professional relationships.

The Diversity Leadership Alliance presents a session with the below objectives:

  • Describe the difference between low-context and high-context communication and the impact these differences have on human interaction.
  • Identify your communication and workstyle preferences and describe how these preferences can impact your interactions with others.
  • Identify the ways prejudice and stereotyping have affected your life, and identify steps you can take to reduce the impact of unconscious bias.
  • Describe the 4 types of noise and the impact each type has on communication and the development of relationships in the workplace.
  • Apply skills such as the S.O.L.E.R. technique, metacommunication, self-disclosure, active listening and basic attending to reduce noise and improve communication across cultural differences.
