Find The Perfect Workshop That Meets Your Organization’s Needs
MFHA encourages organizations to begin their educational journey with our Unconscious Bias workshops, which emphasize self-awareness. Once a person identifies their blind spots, their biases and their prejudices, they often realize how many assumptions they make about people from different cultural groups. The next step in this journey is to learn about Cultural Intelligence what it is, why it’s important and how building Cultural Intelligence can positively impact relationships as well as communication and business outcomes. After this knowledge is built and skills are practiced, it is time to look externally at how a business engages multicultural communities to build value-added relationships for the brand. Lastly, we focus on developing inclusive leadership and professional development capabilities to help build a sustainable culture of authenticity and natural inclusion.
