Her strategies and tactics guide clients to navigate change and uncertainty gracefully while staying in alignment with their 3-5 year business goals. "Don't be ethno-centric, but rather be ethnic-relative." Her tips on becoming more culturally competent are: * Travel as much as you can. Even going to the other part of town can give you a different perspective. * Talk to people face to face; you can always learn something; don't be a troll on Social Media. * Take the time to listen to what's being said, rather than to think what to say next.
