Exploding the Myth of Cultural Stereotypes
Come join us for Exploding the Myth of Cultural Stereotypes, next in the ongoing series of Professional Development Seminars presented by the Working Women’s Network of Grenoble, on November 27, 2010, from 9-17h.
Go beyond clichéd cultural stereotypes and improve both inter-cultural cooperation and personal effectiveness.
- Discover your own cultural assumptions, and how they influence your behaviour and perceptions.
- Apply new knowledge, awareness, and skills to increase cooperation at work and at home – and wherever you cross cultures in your life.
About the Seminar
The Seminar facilitator, Véronique Rostas, will use a 3-step approach for resolving cultural differences:
- Recognition: increase awareness of one’s own cultural perspective
- Respect: appreciate cultural differences
- Reconciliation: resolve cultural differences
This seminar will include:
