We're always learning - learning how to advance our skill set, new technology and processes and how to better understand and connect with our local community. The team at Ormiston Hospital recently completed the first Pou module in a four-part Māori Cultural Competency Program. Pou One focused on Te Ao Māori and taught us about the Māori world view and creation story, whakapapa, pepeha, waiata, kai and more. Our team jumped at the chance to grow our Māori cultural competency knowledge and even managed to be the first hospital in the Southern Cross Healthcare network to fully complete the first module 🏆 It turns out we're hungry to learn AND eat cake! 📸 The snap below shows the team celebrating being #1 with a morning tea. #culturalcompetency #alwayslearning #privatehospital #careerdevelopment

Recognizing the importance of cultural competency is vital when addressing the mental health challenges of BIPOC youth enduring homelessness.

“When in Rome, Innovate as the Romans Do" Our Unspoken Rule of Cultural Competency This morning, as I connected with team members across three continents before breakfast, I was reminded of the critical importance of cultural competency in today’s globalized business environment. At MSys, we embrace this as more than just a policy—it’s a cornerstone of our daily operations. Navigating international markets requires more than business acumen; it demands deep cultural fluency. This isn’t about adhering to a set of guidelines. Instead, it’s about fostering an intuitive understanding among our team members, enabling them to think globally while acting locally. Whether it’s negotiating with suppliers in Asia, brainstorming with partners in Europe, or connecting with customers in South America, every interaction is enriched by a nuanced understanding of cultural differences. Cultural Competency Capsules: To enhance this navigation through these complex global waters, I have some 'Cultural Competency Capsules.' in my mind. These thoughts are quick, digestible insights tailored to the specific cultures where we operate, offering practical tips on communication styles, negotiation techniques, and etiquette that respect and honor the diverse cultures of our clients and colleagues. While our cultural savvy has been an unsaid rule, there’s a compelling argument to be made about formalizing this approach. It could further empower our teams, providing them with even clearer frameworks and resources. As we continue to weave cultural threads, the value of these cultural insights becomes not just apparent but indispensable. Let’s prepare our teams for not only the markets of today but also those of tomorrow. Would formalizing these competencies enhance an organization's operations, or is there strength in keeping them as intuitive, unwritten practices? I would love to know your thoughts about how we could formalize this. Let's transform this idea into a corporate reality? #CulturalCompetency #GlobalBusiness #TeamEmpowerment #CorporateCulture #Innovation #BusinessStrategy

You guessed it - all three! When creating equitable messaging about global and diverse communities, your word choice should reflect respect for and the dignity of your subject. Avoid using language that positions your organization as playing the role of savior, or the hero. Instead, opt for language that conveys awareness of the history of power relations. Check out our newest case study on the Lexicon Project to learn more about how we support clients in creating culturally competent communications. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #culturalcompetency #communications #casestudy #lexiconproject #language

My nonprofit has been invited to apply for a food is medicine grant from a foundation. I think we have a really strong chance of getting it. It’s to increase use of farmers market vouchers. I know for a fact that no other nonprofit in LA or the entire state of California got as many new customers to the Farmers market to use vouchers. The farmers market I’m at out performed the 2nd performing market by three times. Also, when I first started asking for AND implementing culturally relevant foods; it was still a new idea in terms of implementation. Now I see food banks allover the U.S. stating they have culturally relevant or appropriate foods. The same with food as medicine. This idea is ingrained in Korean culture. But when I first started talking about it in LA food justice spaces, it was just me and Native Americans or Indigenous people talking about it. Now, Food as Medicine is the new big thing in addressing food insecurity. Public comment works. Showing up to meetings and speaking out works. #foodsecurity #culturalcompetency #linguisticompetence

"Striving for equality without embracing the principle of equity is like striving for a symphony without a score; one might hit some of the notes, but the harmony remains elusive." Said Derrick Bell There have been very few occasions when words have taken my breath away and these poignant words are eloquence personified. Derrick Bell discussed privilege and its implications within the context of critical race theory. He explored how systems of privilege operate to maintain racial hierarchies and perpetuate inequality. In his writings, Bell often challenged mainstream notions of meritocracy and emphasized the need to recognize and dismantle privilege. Define Irony: A gaggle of white birth workers some only ever just a hairs breath away from being charged with a hate crime and would benefit most from l competency courses taught by people from underrepresented communities, ask for or accept group discounts? 😲 I am aghast!!! Equity demands fair compensation for expertise, not discounts. It's crucial to value the expertise and perspectives of those who are inviting others to hear them from their lived experience. Let's strive for equality by investing in education and understanding without expecting a discount on empathy and inclusivity. #CulturalCompetency #InclusivityMatters" #derrickbell #equityequality #Equity #InclusivityMatters

Avoid spontaneous meetings to have difficult conversations at work. Given the sensitive nature, planning is critical. That's why The Winters Group proposes a series of questions to consider in planning these conversations: ❓ Why are we having the conversation? 🙋♂️ Who should be part of the dialogue, and why? ✅ What is the desired outcome? 💬 How should the conversation be conducted? 🏢 Where should the conversation be held? ⌚ When will the conversation take place? While these questions may seem more logistical and tactical in nature, they are an essential element of engaging in difficult conversations. In our Engaging in Bold, Inclusive Conversations® Facilitator Certification Program, we teach you the content, tools, and competencies necessary to strengthen your capacity to facilitate and engage in these conversations. (You also receive our blueprint, copies of the books this model is based upon, and resources to continue learning!) Registration for our June and September 2024 program is open now! Seating is limited to 25 participants, so secure your spot early at the link in our bio or DM us the word "BOLD" to get started. ... #TheWintersGroup #LeadInclusively #DiversityAndInclusion #DiversityEquityAndInclusion #DiversityEquityInclusion #InclusionAndDiversity #WorkCulture #WorkplaceCulture #WorkplaceDiversity #WorkplaceInclusion #InclusiveLeadership #InclusiveWorkplace #CulturalCompetency #CulturalCompetence #BoldInclusive

One of the highlights of April was establishing connections with the Venice Family Clinic (VFC) in Gardena. Our CHW team, Chris, Amelia, Isa, Leah & Papu along with Heng Lam and Kyle, had the privilege of touring the clinic and engaging in conversations with staff about their current preventive & community health initiatives. The presence of a Samoan physician at the clinic was a pleasant surprise and emphasized the importance of culturally competent care. We were also given the opportunity to observe their biweekly free food market, which sparked our interest in exploring ways to collaborate with them through our own food security programs. We’re very thankful to the VFC for hosting us and providing the opportunity to learn about their services! 🙌 . . . @venicefamilyclinic #CommunityHealthWorkers #CHWs #Gardena #Samoan #CulturalCompetency #FoodSecurity #CommunityHealth

US - UK collaboration The African American and the Black British tight curl community are now officially integrated through the @cutitkinky mentorship and education. I officially met Aleise in person March 2023 and during discussions like many others, enthusiastically encouraged her to come back to the Uk and teach tight curl education. In August 2023 I officially became one of three Uk tight curl Artisans at the end of 3 days intensive training. As a Black community the natural hair movement in the Uk has been embraced for decades with many forms of alternative hairstyles such as braids, twists, locks and cornrows. The very idea that our hair was “curly” without having a texturiser or curly perm was a myth because we have “Afro” hair. The “wash and go” is quite a new method introduced to Black women here in the Uk. Cut It Kinky takes you back to cosmetology school / college to re-introduce the foundation of haircutting as it applies to ALL hair, while centering the 3-dimensional nature of tight curls & natural hair. Tight curls to the world!… #cutitkinky #tightcurleducation #washandgo #tightcurls #collaboration #mentorship #textureunravelled #afrohaireducation #haireducation #culturalcompetency #handsonlearning #afrohair #blackgirlcurls #hairdressingeducation #tightcurleducation #texturejourney #saloneducation #naturalhairjourney #washandgo #culturalnuances #textureeducation #afrohairdressing #afrohairhistory #afrohaireducation #afrohairworkshop #hairstylisteducation #confidencewithtexture
