Intercultural Communication in the Workplace

When we think about the creation of “community," we know instinctively whether or not we matter to someone or to some group, and we also know when we feel like an outsider. Through personal reflection, you'll begin to see the connection between a person’s sense of mattering in the workplace and their workplace performance. An interactive exercise will help us become aware of the ways that we each bring our own cultural lens to our work—and how to avoid relying on stereotypes, inappropriate evaluations, and quick judgments. Whether you have participated in conversations about intercultural communication in the past or this is a new way of thinking about relationships, you are encouraged to attend this session. You will leave with a vocabulary that will help you continue this important conversation, and a better sense of how diversity, inclusion and equity applies to your relationships with colleagues and your work.

Robbie Samuels has been recognized as a networking expert by Inc. and Lifehacker, and is profiled in Stand Out: How to Find Your Breakthrough Idea and Build a Following Around It by Dorie Clark. Since 2009, his engaging and fun presentations have helped a wide array of audiences increase their confidence when it comes to building their professional network and strong, welcoming communities. He passionately believes everyone should stop wasting time networking and shares how through his signature session, “Art of the Schmooze.”

In 2006, he founded Socializing for Justice (SoJust.org) to build a cross-cultural, cross-issue progressive community and network in Boston based on the philosophies of abundance and radical inclusion.
