Cultural Intelligence & Unconscious Bias
Organizationally, your commitment to building a diverse and inclusive culture has been stated and invested in earnestly. Yet, results are in pockets and less than consistent.
The tensions of differences and unnamed biases prevail just under the surface making it puzzling to name or complicated to address.
It is imperative that your executive leadership team views the challenge of equity and access as an opportunity, not a threat.
Thirst Matters brings Executive Cultural Intelligence Assessments & Training and Unconscious Bias Executive Coaching and Leadership Training to prepare your Executive Leadership Team as we fix the broken spaces and in turn, allow your multi-ethnic culture to thrive.
“The desire to treat other people with honor and respect doesn’t automatically mean our behavior comes across as dignifying and kind. There are various adaptations necessary in order to ensure people experience respect and honor from us.”
