Essential Skills Necessary
Maria offers practical strategies for building and maintaining relationships across cultures, stressing the importance of honest, frank discussions. The conversation also touches on the transformative power of curiosity and mindfulness in navigating new cultural landscapes.
Us - Them - Who?
Leadership takes center stage as Maria and Doreen explore creating synergy in multicultural professional settings and the unique qualities of Third Culture Kids (TCKs) in leadership roles.
