About Communicating Across Difference

Course Overview

The day will start with an exploration of some key concepts, then a self-reflection and assessments of our own identity, intersectionality and how that shows up in our day to day.

We then will shift to a self and others lens, where we will explore the concept of intercultural communication, assess our own communication style and learn how to engage with others that adopt a different style.

What you will learn

  • Key diversity and inclusion concepts such as identity, intersectionality and intercultural communication
  • Explore your own identity and its elements of intersectionality and how that influences how you show up.
  • Explore your own intercultural communication style & strategies you can use to relate to others that are different from you.

Key themes covered.

  • Identity and intersectionality
  • Intercultural communication
  • Direct vs indirect communication styles
  • Emotionally restrained vs emotionally expressive communication styles
  • Code switching
  • Strategies to communicate across cultures.

The Small Print

For Face-to-Face Live Online Learning

All learners will need to install Zoom on their machines. Full technical requirements are on the Zoom website. Your link will be included in your joining instructions once you have booked your place — if you haven't received this email then please contact our team.

You should reserve out 10am to 4.30pm in your diary for the learning. This will allow you to join the interactive workshops and have time to reflect and do the assignments in between. We believe immersing yourself in the content for a whole day will create deep learning and lasting impact. 

Learners should log into the training session 10 minutes before the start time to ensure that they have downloaded and set up Zoom correctly. The course will start precisely on time and it may not be possible to go back over material missed by late arrivals.

Your active participation is expected: everyone will be heard and seen throughout, just as they would be if we were in a room together. To be heard, hear and seen you will need a microphone, speakers and camera — if you have a modern laptop that’s all you will need. Remember, you’ll need a quiet place to call from and a decent internet connection is a must.

Please ensure you read our Terms and Conditions before booking for our payment terms and cancellation policy.

All public classroom sessions take place at Happy's HQ in London at Robert Dolan House, 9 Alie Street, London E1 8DE. Please see our Contact Us page for full directions and a PDF map.

The course will run from 10am to 4:30pm (lunch is served 1pm to 1:45pm — we offer a choice of 3 cold bowl dishes). Please be careful to arrive by 9.45am for registration and refreshments. The course will start precisely on time and it may not be possible to go back over material missed by late arrivals. If you arrive over 30 minutes late you may be asked to leave and attend another day.
