Both/And: Bridging the Gaps Between US and Global D&I

Description

The past decade has seen D&I globalize in several ways. Often, we see the change coming from U.S. multinationals in global locations embracing D&I as a business imperative. If we are to support and develop socially responsible global citizens, we need culturally aware D&I practitioners. If you’ve spent most of your career in the U.S., how well do you know the assumptions and biases you hold about others from outside of the U.S., and what are the assumptions and biases they hold about you? If you are from outside of the U.S., how do you work with a sometimes-very-specific U.S. approach to D&I when your American colleagues deeply (possibly unconsciously) believe that their way is the best way?

Explore these questions and dive into your own work to become more effective at partnering globally. Co-facilitated by two highly experienced practitioners who bring deep U.S. and global experience, along with diversity of gender, culture, race, religion, age and more, to their own partnership.
