How do our cultural values shape the way we speak, listen, and respond to others—especially when conflicts arise? Why do some people approach disagreements with directness, while others prioritise harmony or hierarchy? In this discussion, we’ll explore how deeply our cultures influence communication and conflict styles, and what happens when those differences collide. Together, we’ll look at real-life examples and frameworks that reveal the root causes of cross-cultural misunderstandings, giving us a clearer lens through which to see ourselves and others._x000D_

Hosted by Lily, a psychotherapist originally from China who spent over a decade in the US and now works globally and counsels clients from all over the world, this session will be both practical and eye-opening. We’ll learn tools for repairing communication breakdowns and discuss strategies that can make us more effective in diverse teams, relationships, and environments. Whether you’ve lived abroad, worked across cultures, or simply want to strengthen your ability to connect with people different from yourself, this is a chance to grow, share, and learn in a thoughtful and supportive space._x000D_
