About this event
More teams than ever work across countries, languages and generations. Few of us were taught how to do it well. A message that sounds clear to you can sound rude, vague or confusing to a colleague who grew up somewhere else, and often nobody says so. The cost shows up as slow decisions, silent meetings and good ideas that never get shared.
In this 45-minute session, Lisbon-based consultant Joy Wiggins, PhD, shares a simple five-step model from her Cultural Agility Change Model™: See, Fit, Say, Involve, Keep. You will find where cultural friction is already costing your team, try the steps on an example, and plan one step to use this week. No background in culture or HR is needed.
You will leave with:
A way to spot where cultural friction is already costing your team time, trust or ideas.
A starting model to close that gap, instead of only naming it as a problem.
Who it is for: HR and people leaders, founders and executives managing distributed or global teams, DEI and culture practitioners, and students and early-career professionals.
Speaker: Joy Wiggins, PhD, cultural agility consultant and author of From Sabotage to Support.
Venue: PTW Palace, Garden Room, Rua Gomes Freire 98, Lisbon.
