Navigating different cultures can be complex, but when you add change into the mix—whether it’s personal, organizational, or societal—it becomes even more challenging. How do we adapt to change while maintaining trust, communication, and cultural awareness?

Join Dr. Joy Wiggins for an interactive and lively seminar designed for global teams, leaders, and professionals managing change across cultures. Through real-world insights, engaging discussions, and practical strategies, we’ll explore:

• How cultural differences shape our responses to change

• How to establish trust and cultural respect  in times of uncertainty

• How to communicate effectively across cultures when everything is shifting

Expect dynamic conversations, reflection exercises, and Q&A to leave you with actionable insights for navigating change with cultural agility and confidence.

Joy joins a panel of amazing speakers discussing humanity-first standards in the approach to AI, the metaverse, and emerging technologies especially around inclusion in the workplace and next steps for how AI informs conversations around equity and inclusion.
