Culture and Cultural Codes

Through his entertaining stories and popular illustrations, Julien will make you reflect about how your culture influences you more than you think. Julien explains in simple terms what culture is, how differences play out and how it affects us. He talks about behaviours, rituals, norms, role models and values. The audience learns to be more aware of their own perceptions and expectations, and the perceptions, expectations and intend of others.

 

The audience learn to communicate more effectively within multicultural environments and to be more aware of how their behaviours may be (mis)interpreted. The lecture improves communication across cultures and provides practical tools to understand how to connect with different people. Julien focuses on expectations, perception and intend in everyday interactions.
