CCDI Webinar: Cultural humility

This webinar will explore the profound impact of cultural humility as a foundational approach to building truly inclusive and equitable organizations. Traditional models emphasize cultural competence; however, cultural humility encourages continuous learning, self-reflection, and an understanding that no one can ever fully "master" the complexities of culture.

Attendees will understand how shifting culture from asset to value can amplify belonging, innovation, and overall organizational health & success.
