Cultural Diversity, what IF it lacks? Learn from, Maureen Chao’s experience

The media celebrated the incident ,[which is the lack of her awareness of cultural diversities in the region],as follows:

{“US Vice-Consul Maureen Chao told Indian students on Friday that her “skin became dirty and dark like the Tamilians” after a longtrain journey, according to Indian media — referring to people from the southern state of Tamil Nadu.”

“During her speech in the Tamil Nadu capital, Chennai, Chao was quoted as saying: “I was on a 24-hour train trip from Delhi to (the eastern Indian state of) Orissa.”
“But, after 72 hours, the train still did not reach the destination… and my skin became dirty and dark like the Tamilians.”..”

RESULT

“The United States has apologized for controversial remarks made by a US diplomat who spoke of “dark and dirty” Indians, calling the comments “inappropriate” } ”

The consul accepted her lack of awareness,by starting cross cultural studies,very seriously.

“DOES IT FIT FOR ME? DOES TRAINING WORK?” CAN PEOPLE CHANGE? what is the scientific proof?

Recently,a man in his fifties,who is running a moderate business in The UAE CAPITAL ,asked:”At this age,does any training needed for me?Does it fit for me?Without all that,I am doing well,my employees are happy,what else you can do by this training?”

The Answer is there in the question itself .YES,People can change &”change starts today”.Whatelse and whatmore is the real question that we address,for inducing,implementing and propagating the change initiative, in&through various Global programs.Customizing an international module just to fit,(1) the mission and vision of an organization and(2)the need of the participant’s job status, is carried out strictly for our each session and so the required result is guaranteed.

Until recently, the reigning theory was that neurons in the brain didn’t regenerate. In her book, Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain” Wall Street Journal science columnist Sharon Begley documents experiments showing that new neurons are created in the brain every day, even in people in their 70s. The book provides a convincing account of recent discoveries in brain neuro plasticity. With these discoveries, we can more confidently say that training can be part of a difficult but not impossible change process available to the learner. Yes training does work and yes, people can change,but it is a long process,with lot of effort from the individual.

Let us hope for the best and start our change process today itself, in whatever levels possible, for the best result !!. JOIN NOW FOR OUR DNA 2011,ON NOV.5,6,7 AT ABUDHABI and get a Ramadan OFFER of AED900,per person.You can register FOR the same DNA 2011@kumarakom, in DEC. 2011.

Diversity Skills & Cross Cultural Competence -for better interactions

Globalization has caused us to link more tight and more frequent,than ever before.As per last years assessment,the middle east is hosting around 173 nationalities in some of her cities.Though for practical  purposes, we never show or express our differences,IT does exist among us; work,grow and multiply with us,as years pass by. Finally all suppressed,hidden items,will come up and fight with us,internally (secretly!),or externally(publicly),at times when we do not want that to happen at all…………….!

How can we avoid collapsing in this multitude of diversities anywhere and everywhere? If we cannot,that is how some of us become permanently sick and on medication.Because everything starts with,our internal strength,  one has to increase  this by reducing the differences and hence bridging the gap between oneself  and the rest of the  world represented in his work pace.It really needs   serious training to  improve these skills which is already there,in less active form;to go up in corporate ladder or  the minimum to keep the job with proper interactions with all  others.

In Culture ,what is visible,  is only the TIP of the ice berg.The majority is underneath,which necessitates cross cultural training for proper interaction. This sustains our  job in a foreign country of different culture,where again 173 nationalities join hands for productivity &development.

LEADING WITHOUT EQ-A CASE STUDY

A recent investigatory report on present Teenager issues,in the daily “Malayala Manorama” under the title “our Children,without our Notice” has shed light into many real incidents that happened among school children&teenagers,from north to south,and east to west, inside a small state in India.The outcome,really shuddered all socially active people  around the Globe,who are involved or interested in the formation of the young generation.(Reference: The daily “Malayala  Manorama” August 2, 2011 to 9th august ).The  incidents collected and reported,points to the urgent  basic need,’ to change’ the present situations by taking strong and heathy reformational actions at the origin-the source, ie, our children.

WHAT?????

Yes, EQ Training from the age group 10 yrs or 12, will  be one of these actions,to implement real change  at the source!

It should not stop there  at Teens,it should be extended to teachers,parents,social change agents,professionals ,Leaders of all kinds,all those interested,customized  for  different levels.We have the best people to lead,but application of emotional intelligence in the process is  lacking to a certain extend.Leading without EQ  will  cause  negative results and degrade the hard work,without the maximum result.We,   at ‘DNA Of Excellence’ are dedicated to this cause,at all levels of the society.It is our strong conviction  that one should discover himself,for personal development and to help, to implement the same in another person.Yes,they really used to discover & rediscover, themselves very deep, in our transformational sessions.
