Cross Cultural Competence Courageous Conversations

Cross-cultural competence is a set of beliefs and behaviors in which one acknowledges and accepts one’s cultural identity as well as the cultural identity of those at work and in the community. It is an ongoing process of valuing differences through beliefs, actions and their outcomes. Starting with a "no fault; no blame" approach, this training begins at the self-awareness phase. It goes beyond traditional and historical cultural awareness trainings.
