Bold Conversations: Building Intercultural Confidence in the Midst of Paralyzation and Polarization
A four-session transformational journey to reach across what divides us
You’re feeling it and you’ve been feeling it: the pain our divisions create for you, your family, friends and colleagues. You might think it’s high time for this conversation, you might be yearning for it but not quite able to name what it should look like. You are ready to take an active part in shifting our national discourse on race, politics and everything else that divides us!
In Bold Conversations, you will embark on both an individual and a collective journey. You will examine the impact of your identities (sexual orientation, socioeconomic, education level, gender, citizenship, age, personality preferences, professional and life roles, abilities and more!) and how they influence your worldview. Together we will peel back the invisible layers of privilege and oppression to see how systems work and identify what your role can and should be. Working as a cross-cultural community, you will emerge with increased self-awareness, stronger skills for standing in solidarity across racial, political and other urgent lines of difference, and a mindset and skillset to help you combat injustice on a daily basis.
We will use the Intercultural Development Continuum as a basis for our work and learning. This journey includes taking the inventory and using your results to inform your personal growth strategies to move out of paralyzation and polarization and actively build bridges that will transform and unite our world.
You will develop:
- Deep awareness of how your own identity and culture influence how you engage across difference
- Individual intercultural coaching session to develop a personal goal and strategies
- Customized intercultural development plan with self-guided activities
- A process to investigate others’ perspectives and what that means for your interactions
- Skills to talk about the hard stuff with others, especially when we disagree
- Intercultural confidence to be more inclusive and effective across lines of difference
