Personal accountability – from the CEO down to frontline employees – is a must for any organization to be successful.

To be culturally competent is to go beyond recognizing (or even celebrating) diversity to developing an awareness of how our individual identities and backgrounds impact our interactions with others. It also means using that knowledge to strengthen our ability to interact successfully with all kinds of people and improve outcomes in relationships both personally and professionally.
We are all influenced by our backgrounds and the societies in which we live. Differences in race, age, gender, nationality, and many other factors can contribute to assumptions being made on both sides of an interaction.
This training program will introduce participants to the ways that the human brain is primed to form biases and how we can become better at recognizing and overcoming them.
Building on that awareness, we’ll examine how one’s attitude, knowledge, and skill sets can all be bolstered to improve interpersonal relationships, team cohesion, and workplace culture.
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Explain the difference between celebrating diversity and being culturally competent.
- Describe the four components of cultural competency.
- Utilize practical, hands-on information that they can apply to their professional relationships immediately.

Working in an environment with unethical employees can have negative consequences on organizational trust, team-building, communication, and morale. Ethical behavior tends to be a broad term, encompassing accountability, professionalism, and respect. This can make pinpointing behaviors to change difficult. In addition, sometimes individual character changes are in order, but sometimes a company needs to systematically change its culture.
According to the Ethics Research Center, 62 percent of workers in large companies without ethics programs witness misconduct, compared to 33 of workers in large companies with effective ethics programs. The study also showed that within companies with ethics programs, the instances of pressure and retaliation amongst coworkers fall to 4 percent.
In this course you will learn how to pinpoint unethical behavior, create a plan for an effective ethics program, and deal with unethical co-workers. As a result you will be able to build organizational trust, have greater integrity when approaching problems, have increased respect among workers, and establish clear standards of ethical behavior.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Dispel common myths about business ethics
- Describe the ideal ethical workplace
- Implement ethics guidelines and policies in your organization
- Identify and resolve typical ethical dilemmas
- Recognize common excuses for unethical behavior, and what to do about them
- Deal with unethical coworkers, customers, and vendors

Culture is the topic of many articles, books, and other publications. It’s a big topic that can come with varying sentiments, including perceptions of span of control. However, what many leaders and employees often don’t consider is culture at the macro level – the team. And just as with organizational culture, team culture exists whether it’s a focus or not, so it’s best to have a team culture “on purpose.”
In this workshop we’ll share how team culture creates significant impact to employee experience for both overall and day-to-day. Participants will then learn an approach to culture development to be intentional and thoughtful about such an important and impactful topic. The workshop will present considerations for culture development, including change management practices, team dynamics, communication, and reinforcements to increase momentum and sticking power for sustainable team transformation.
