“To effectively communicate with the world, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.”
When people think about “diversity,” they often think about race, gender, and ethnicity. That puts people who are unique into large groups with others who may be unlike them. At the same time, they may have much in common with people who appear to be very different from them.
It’s no secret that today’s workplace is rapidly becoming vast, as the business environment expands to include various geographic locations and span numerous cultures. What can be difficult, however, is understanding how to communicate effectively with individuals who speak another language or who rely on different means to reach a common goal.
All this can be achieved if you get sensitized to Cross Culture Boundaries.
I) Define your Objectives:
- Your aim should be to recognize the benefits of developing a working knowledge of the basic traits of other cultures.
- To develop an understanding of cultural Differences and similarities.
- To discuss different communications styles amongst different cultures.
II) The scope that the orientation will offer for your survival globally:
- A quick session on Cross Culture will help you facilitate in dealing with people across the globe.
- Suggest ways to overcome cultural barriers, both Verbal & non-Verbal.
- Identify communication styles with different cultures.
Culture: “Is perceived as a set of learned beliefs, values and behaviors the way of life shared by the members of a society.”
Culture Shock on the other hand: “Is a term used to describe different levels of anxiety and feelings of surprise, disorientation, confusion, etc.”
A small orientation session on Cross Culture Sensitization will immensely help you in over coming Cultural shock embarrassments from time to time, while dealing with counterparts globally and with a extensive workshop you will be able to get better understanding of every culture.
