How do you create the workplace culture you want? Very carefully.

Like learning a new language, learning how to cultivate a better workplace requires commitment and effort. It doesn’t happen by chance. Our team can walk you step by step through the journey to better connections. With some key concepts and a little practice under your belt, transformational results are possible.

Cultivate is proud to partner with:

  • Equip your people to thrive in every interaction.
    Our training programs offer powerful insights and actionable tools that help you build deeper connections across cultures and increase your cultural agility. Our programs can be customized for your specific group, and we can also design training that fits a specific set of needs.

  • Get an helpful view of where you stand.
    The first step to building stronger cultural connections is understanding how your own personal culture and your own understanding of culture is impacting you right now. Most people have never thought this through or even noticed it at all. Our assessments are a valuable starting place for any team or individual that wants to grow in their journey toward a healthier workplace.

    We offer several different assessments for individuals and teams:

    • Intercultural Development Inventory

    • Three Colors of Worldview

    • Cultural Mapping Inventory

    • DiSC

    • Five Behaviors of an Effective Team

    Each assessment includes a one-on-one consultation to help participants interpret, understand, and apply the findings.

  • Get ongoing support for the journey.
    Learning how to interact across cultures in a way that’s honoring, productive, and fulfilling is not always easy. It’s a skill that takes time to develop. Our Certified Intercultural Coaches can work with you individually or as a team to help you learn how to navigate your real-life scenarios with a greater sense of understanding and confidence.

  • Solve sensitive challenges with grace and clarity.
    Are you in the midst of an intercultural breakdown? Have cultures clashed within your organization? Or maybe between your team and the customers you’re trying to serve? We’re ready to jump in and help you solve your cultural challenges. Whether you have an isolated issue or a long-standing systemic challenge, our consultants can help you bring healing and growth to your intercultural relationships.

Any of our services can be customized to fit the needs of your organization. Many clients start with trainings or assessments and move into an ongoing coaching or consulting partnership. We work with both teams and individuals who are ready to invest in bettering their workplace culture.

“Intercultural agility is a critical skill that helps us navigate our diverse, conflicted communities toward healthier, happier realities.”
