In today’s episode, we’re diving into the topic of “culture”–what it is, where it came from, and how recent thinking challenges our assumptions. One key idea we’ll be looking at is that culture isn’t a rigid, unchanging force pushing people apart but rather a dynamic interplay of multiple influences that can unite us if we learn how to forge a shared sense of belonging. By exploring this idea, we’ll see how moving beyond the notion of “clashing cultures” can open up more productive and inclusive ways of working together.
