Cultural Empathy

1/27/2021

4 Comments

 
What is cultural empathy and why is it important?

By putting ourselves in someone from another culture's shoes, we can better understand what they're going through.

By employing this strategy, corporations can create more productive work environments and more comprehensive solutions to problems because team members are able to understand one another deeply, creating an ENVIRONMENT OF RESPECT and a SPIRIT OF COLLABORATION.

But the benefits of cultural empathy extend WELL BEYOND the corporate world.

Cultural empathy also decreases ignorance. Therefore reducing fear of the unknown. Therefore reducing hatred. Therefore reducing violence. Thereby leading to more peace and harmony in this world.

Wise words. Anyone who has spent time travelling, living away from their own country and learning other languages will confirm this.

Sadly at the moment in these dire covid times, it's impossible for young people to travel and gain the valuable insights and experience you cite. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the more enlightened and tolerant generations of the future. I have a friend in London, Peitao (Peter Tan) who has a string of contacts for people planning to travel around Asia. He's also a bit of a business guru and I'm sure would love to speak to you. Let me know if I can link you up! You'll see him on Linked In.
