Vodcast #001 - Global Mindset by Sunaina Vij

There are 3 takeaways from our intercultural expert, who champions cross-cultural communication, creating value through seamless cultural integration across global teams within an organization.

Take a look at the 1st Vodcast on what Global Mindset is in Sunaina's words.

Why do we need to have a global mindset?

Diversity is a reality right now. Globalization prompts us to cultivate a global mindset as we need to adapt to working with diverse groups of people.

How could we cultivate it?

It's all about our thinking and our attitude. Do others feel we have a global mindset? Ultimately, it gets back to us being open, having compassion and respect to everyone. In a nutshell, self-awareness is the key of global mindset.

What actions could we take in a workplace context to nurture it?

We, humans, have the innate awareness of these qualities. What we need to do is to pull them out and put the biases away. These qualities take time to develop but basically, we need to put into practice being a global citizen by trying to understand people who are different from us.

Stay tuned for our next episode.
