When practiced, this skill, called "cultural fluency" can accelerate trust and drive performance. In this session, interculturalist and bestselling author Jane Hyun shares how to unlock trust by leveraging differences to drive insights that lead to bottom-line growth.
Participants learn practical tools that lead to high trust, innovative teams.
