Managing across cultures with cultural dexterity and humility

Cultural dexterity and humility are key to being an effective farm manager, especially when managing across cultural and racial differences. Presenter Lakisha Coppedge of Coppedge Consulting will provide tools to help you build awareness of your own culture, privileges, and assumptions; develop your ability to listen to and learn from others; reflect on your own cross-cultural experiences; and learn from your mistakes. This session will increase your awareness of how power imbalances can impact understanding and communication on farms and will offer guidance for how to address this. In addition, the training will help you expand your capacity for learning, listening, and understanding across cultures, as well as your ability to build workplace relationships that are mutually respectful. Dinner will be provided.
