Cross-cultural relationships in the workplace can broaden our world’s perspective and make us better humans and professionals. This month, we highlight how our diverse perspectives and shared experiences can strengthen these connections.

This month, we explore the intricate world of cultural differences, and also honor two significant observances: Immigrant Heritage Month and Pride Month. I share with you my favorite insights about understanding, appreciating, and navigating the invisible boundaries that shape our interactions across cultures.

This year, I am endeavoring to focus on a major theme: How to Successfully Lead Across Cultures. This is a topic that I touch upon in my work with private clients, along with my collaborations with organizations. Throughout the year, I will play out a different idea about leading across cultures, such as talking about the concept of the cultural prism and the differences in leadership styles across cultures, the unwritten rules of global business, and the leadership lessons of assimilating on purpose - amongst other important themes.
