Cultural Self-Awareness: Me, Myself & I

$3,000

All experts agree that the first step in becoming more equitable and inclusive is to have a solid understanding of your own culture. Why is that? Because in order to understand cultures and backgrounds that are different from your own, you must be able to identify the elements of your own culture that appear unique to another person’s perspective.
