Culture shock

Turning a landscape of complex change and transformation into an environment of innovation, collaboration, and success

From relocating to a new workplace to collaborating with new and diverse teams, individuals often encounter unfamiliar customs, communication styles, and work practices that can trigger feelings of disorientation and frustration.

This session explores the unique challenges and opportunities that arise when navigating cultural and procedural transitions in a professional setting. We consider a range of practical tactics which teams can use to minimise the emotional impact of change and thrive in the face of adversity.

Key themes:

  1. The 5 stages of culture shock that individuals and teams experience
  2. Participate in the Neurological Levels of Change activity
  3. Developing self-awareness and cultural sensitivity
  4. Setting realistic expectations and goals
  5. Building support networks and seeking assistance
  6. Creating an environment of belonging and acceptance
