Empowering Diverse Teams - Intercultural Competency Workshop


Price $130 – $750 AUD Get tickets

Event description

Whether you’re a leader or a team member, become empowered and unlock the potential of your team to improve relationships, teamwork and output. 

Intercultural sensitivity and understanding is about more than diversity within your team; it’s about learning how our many different cultures influence how we work and interact, and creating spaces where diverse teams feel empowered to thrive. 

During this highly-interactive Intercultural Competency Workshop, you’ll explore the challenges and benefits of cultural diversity, how these can affect the success of a team and what makes for a successful culturally diverse team. 

This workshop will involve small group activities and exercises, making it ideal for work groups or management teams to attend together. 

Finish the session with the confidence, practical tools, and essential framework to effectively work with and support a culturally diverse team in which everyone feels empowered. 

Topics Include

  • Understanding cultural tendencies and achieving alignment 
  • Addressing the challenges in culturally diverse teams 
  • Impact of pro-diversity beliefs on team success 
  • Supporting teams with low intercultural competence 
  • Exploring the dynamics of a successful culturally diverse team 
  • Developing intercultural strategies through neuroscience and cultural understanding 
  • Realising the benefits of cultural diversity for your team and organisation
