About this event
Innovation rarely dies for lack of ideas. It dies in meetings where people stay silent.
In multicultural teams under pressure to innovate and adopt AI, speaking up about ideas, risks and mistakes early can make all the difference.
Drawing on real experiences across Germany, the US and Latin America, this session explores how to navigate difficult conversations, manage emotions without suppressing your voice, and challenge ideas across cultures.
You’ll leave with:
A practical way to decide when silence protects you and when it holds you back.
A framework for navigating difficult conversations and addressing impact, not intent.
Tools to disagree across cultures without losing your voice.
Practical strategies for leaders to build psychological safety and help teams speak up before small issues become big problems.
Especially relevant for founders, team leaders, HR professionals and anyone working in multicultural teams, including Brazilians and Latin Americans building their careers in Portugal.
