Description
Do you ever wonder why you are the way you are and why you do what you do? Is it your personality or style or could it be cultural differences? Have you explored how your perceptions of Asians in country cultures outside of Asia might impact your expectations and interactions in Asia?
In this session, participants will explore the idea of “who am I” using a values-based framework and discussions initiated by these questions: How do my values influence my behaviour and how do others perceive me and vice versa? What are my core values that most strongly influence me? Using Asian American history and diaspora examples, participants will also engage around the question of what are my interpretations//perceptions of the behaviours resulting from the core values of others? Techniques for managing perceptions and leveraging your core and cultural values will be discussed.
