October Professional Development Event: “Stepping Out of the Box: Working Together to Communicate Effectively Across Cultures”
Join IABC Nashville on Wednesday, October 21, at 12:00 PM CDT on Zoom for an insightful conversation on communications and culture with Diana Sanchez-Vega, owner of Sanchez-Vega Communications. Diana will discuss acculturation’s reciprocal process – where host communities and newcomers often find themselves engaged in planned and serendipitous interactions- and how cultural humility can propel effective communication in any multicultural setting. Diana will also address the benefits of stepping out of the box when communicating with limited English proficient speakers to engage in mutually productive dialogue.
Attendees will learn more about the following:
- How to effectively communicate across cultures in both professional and personal settings
- How to confidently manage cultural barriers to achieve common goals
- How to think more broadly in a multicultural scenario to ensure everyone feels included and respected
