In this episode, we hear from Lambers Fisher, who discusses the importance of being culturally considerate. “Cultural sensitivity and cultural awareness as a whole is just an acknowledgement that there is more to us than just one thing,” he says.
Whether it be race, ethnicity, gender or other, we can all find something that connects us to another person. Use this as a bridge for empathy. When folks think about cultural sensitivity, it may focus on the word sensitivity as “walking on eggshells.” Fisher encourages us to think about the word “sensitivity” more in the “considerate” sense.
Fisher is a marriage & family therapist and national speaker on the topic of multicultural awareness and diversity. With over 20 years of therapeutic experience, Fisher offers encouraging, practical and shame-free strategies for reducing unintentional cultural offenses and repairing cross-cultural personal and professional relationships.
