The Prologue

In our Implicit Bias Training we learned that self-awareness is the first step towards Cultural Proficiency. Through self-awareness, we gain a deeper understanding of our own cultural lens and how it influences our thoughts, actions, and reactions. This awareness empowers us to approach interactions with individuals from different cultures with empathy, respect, and an open mind. 

Participants were encouraged to:

1️⃣ Delve into your own cultural background: Take the time to explore your cultural heritage, traditions, and values. Reflect on how these elements have shaped your identity and worldview.

2️⃣ Examine your biases and assumptions: We all possess biases, whether we are aware of them or not. Reflect on any stereotypes or preconceived notions you may hold about different cultures and challenge them.

3️⃣ Engage in introspection: Regularly pause and reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and reactions during cross-cultural interactions. Ask yourself why you may have responded in a certain way and consider alternative perspectives.

4️⃣ Seek feedback and learn from others: Engage in meaningful conversations with individuals from diverse backgrounds and truly listen to their experiences and viewpoints. Remain open to feedback and learn from the wisdom they share.
