Lost in Translation? Not Anymore!
Arriving in a new country, surrounded by a different culture and unfamiliar ways of speaking, it’s easy to misinterpret what others mean. A simple phrase can feel confusing—or even triggering—because of our own biases and expectations.
What if the way you hear those messages wasn’t automatic, but something you could actually choose? In this 2-hour interactive workshop, you’ll explore how to listen beyond assumptions and tune in with empathy and clarity. Through playful exercises and reflection, you’ll practice understanding yourself and others more deeply, and reclaiming the freedom to respond in ways that bridge cultures rather than create distance.
By learning to listen differently, you’ll find more ease in building meaningful connections, clearer communication, and a smoother journey wherever you land.
