Our culture defines many aspects of how we think, feel, and act. It can be challenging for managers to bridge cultural differences and bring employees together into a functioning team. This course will give supervisors and managers easy-to-use techniques for communicating across cultures, building teams, promoting multiculturalism in the organization, and leveraging the global talent pool.
In this 2-hour interactive webinar you will learn to:
– Define what culture is and how it shapes the workplace.
– Identify how stereotypes shape our perception.
– Develop useful cross-cultural attitudes.
– Communicate effectively across cultures.
– Effectively manage employees from different cultures.
– Help teams overcome cross-cultural and virtual barriers.
– Promote acceptance and awareness in your organization to help create a multicultural environment.
– Leverage the global talent pool.

But we’ve never had a New England Patriot, despite their dynasty that dominated the 2000s and 2010s.We’re changing that on Friday night, March 21, 2025, when we welcome 4-time champion Rob Gronkowski and 3-time champion (and Super Bowl LIII MVP) Julian Edelman to our stage at the JW Marriott Parq Hotel in Vancouver. Gronk and Edelman, besides their work every week on FOX NFL Sunday, cohost the popular Dudes on Dudes podcast – check out some of their favourite moments HERE. They are also accomplished entrepreneurs, starting and owning their own successful businesses. This will be a truly memorable night with two of the best – and funniest – leaders in sports. Not into football? Or a fan of another team still tormented by the Pats’ success? No worries! You’ll laugh at Gronk and Edelman, but the real fun of the event is meeting and networking with 1,000 construction and business leaders, entrepreneurs, executives and professionals.Our ICBA Gala is Canada’s premier event celebrating the construction industry.
