Shanna provided way more value for our Women in Technology Networking Seminar than what I paid for the ticket. I really resonated with Shanna’s story first as a woman working in a male-dominated industry and, also, as an entrepreneur. Shanna does a phenomenal job working to bridge communication and build connections amongst diverse groups of professionals. After attending this seminar, I feel more empowered to share my story and build connections with potential clients and collaborators in my industry.

Shanna's talk was a fun and engaging opportunity to consider how to recognize and overcome biases, both those that I have and those that others have applied to me.

Empowering Women to Connect Cross-Culturally: Bridging the Gap

Now more than ever, an organization’s success depends on its ability to embrace a cross-cultural mindset. Traditionally, the benefit of this commitment to diversity is attributed to creating products and services that appropriately serve an ever-increasing diverse population. What many organizations fail to realize, however, is that not only must this global mindset be cultivated from within the organization first, but this internal shift can also have significant measurable benefits. Organizations that successfully embrace their internal cross-cultural diversity and actively encourage connection throughout all levels can expect increased productivity, improved morale, and decreased turnover.

In this engaging, interactive training, Shanna leads teams in exploring the impact and benefits of cross-cultural connections and the role diversity has played in her life. Team members will leave with a foundational understanding of unconscious bias and its influence in the workplace. They will also have tools and techniques to conquer stereotypes and create an inclusive environment.

Participants will learn to:

  • Recognize and overcome cultural barriers.
  • Shift from unconscious assumptions to intentional curiosity.
  • Build bridges across diverse backgrounds to strengthen teams.

It reminds me to be aware of other people's paradigms. Pause and check my unconscious bias.

We had the opportunity to learn to craft our 60-second introduction and then practice within the group. Everyone enjoyed the way you got us up and moving and connecting. I received multiple comments after the meeting about how much everyone enjoyed and benefited from your program.
