DIALOGUE- NOW YOU'RE TALKING: DIALOGUE FOR CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING

How should we communicate in a world where differences n perspective, experience, job function, culture, gender, age, and a myriad of other factors often lead to distrust, misunderstanding and reduced productivity? Any team can benefit from learning the tools of dialogue - how to communicate across differences in a way that is both respectful and effective. Dialogue is how you communicate when you're having trouble communicating.

We apply the skills of dialogue outlined in Program 1 to challenges faced in culturally diverse work environments. We see a dramatization that demonstrates how a team has used dialogue to open communication, uncover hidden assumptions, break down stereotypes, and facilitate more productive relationships.
