Why many Asians don't speak up

and how you can enable every teammate to contribute to their full potential

As leaders, we interpret the world through 'cultural goggles' that shape how we perceive and make decisions. These goggles, while clear in known environments, can obscure our understanding of new ones. As Asia rises as a key consumer and business hub, we must shift our cultural viewpoints to leverage growing opportunities.

Don't miss this opportunity to discover:

  • The fascinating anthropology of how Asian and Western cultures evolved, and what you need to know to build robust cross-cultural bridges.
  • How cognitive psychologists are finding that many Asians think in a more holistic and less verbal way than Westerners.
  • 5 steps you can take right way to become an even more effective global leader skilled at engaging and motivating employees and customers from all backgrounds.

Our speaker, Joy Chen, is CEO of the Multicultural Leadership Institute and a former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles and executive search leader for Fortune CEOs and Board members. For her global leadership in unleashing human potential, Joy has been profiled by media including the Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The Economist, CNN and Vogue China.
