Leadership in an Evolving World: Developing Thriving Workplaces and a Culture of Belonging - Developing Cultural Competence

We encounter cultural differences everyday in our work and personal lives. As the world becomes more interconnected and complex, leaders must develop skills to work and live effectively with people from different cultures and viewpoints. In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn about your personal approach to cultural differences and commonalities, ways to build your knowledge and abilities, and the importance of cultural competence in your future endeavors.

This workshop will have three parts:
1. Taking the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI). This an opportunity to take the IDI for free, which is a personalized assessment which usually at cost. Please bring a laptop with you. Pre-registered students will receive instructions for accessing the IDI via email shortly before the workshop.
2. Overview of the Intercultural Development Continuum, which outlines a developmental path of increasing complexity in understanding and responding to cultural differences.
3. Discussion of how cultural competence helps to create spaces where people can work together and thrive while honoring differences and commonalities.

After the workshop, participants will meet with a Graduate Student Life staff member for an individual debrief session to receive and discuss their IDI results. A sign-up schedule will be available at the workshop.

Refreshments will be provided! Registration is required; spaces are limited.
