You will learn:
  • How what we do is motivated by values, beliefs, and "cultural sense" that are often outside our conscious awareness

  • The core motivations of people in another culture and immediately practice how to respond to them in real-life scenarios

  • Both what is common within a culture as well as the differences found in its people and how they approach life and work

  • Which values tend to take precedence and under what circumstances

  • How behavior in any culture is situational rather than stereotypical

  • Best practices for bridging cultures effectively
