Coffee Hour with SIETAR USA

 SIETAR USA Coffee Hour

Wednesday, October 1st

9:00 – 10:00 AM Pacific /
12:00 – 1:00 PM Eastern

Am I really listening? Turbulent times that test our intercultural skillset and mindset

Join fellow intercultural and DEIB colleagues for an informal virtual coffee hour as we launch our SIETAR USA Listening Circles. This will be a dedicated space for SIETARians to practice what we preach—listening for understanding, empathy, and connection while fostering psychological safety. We’ll explore how to strengthen our intercultural skills to navigate differences, biases, and barriers, while also reflecting on the commonalities that bind us. Through open sharing, we’ll examine when inclusion is natural, when it is challenging, and when it may even be intentional to step back. Come ready to listen deeply, share authentically, and expand your perspective.

Bring your coffee, tea, or other favorite drink and spend an hour connecting with colleagues from across the country and beyond.

Facilitators:  Sue Shinomiya and Julia Gaspar-Bates
