My name is Kelli McLoud-Schingen and I'm the President for SIETAR USA
We have Kelli McLoud-Schingen here, the President of SIETAR USA
willing to give us some insights from a Diversity Icebreaker session that we had yesterday
Did you enjoy it?
I enjoyed it a great deal and I felt it was a wonderful activity to make people consider diversity in a different way
and yet to bring up some of the same types of issues we have working across cultures
Like prejudice, positive bias, and negative bias
And how we respond to each other, competition and things like that
Was it a good experience, with humor?
Lots of humor, it was very funny
I'm asking because I always do
There was lots of fun and I felt it brought the community together
The room together
and in laughter, it kept it light but gave a lot of information
Discussion was quite long and despite the room, which was... odd.
I heard you will be organizing a SIETAR conference in Minneapolis, would you like to say something about that?
Sure I would. October 17th through 20th in Minneapolis, Minnesota
will be the SIETAR USA conference "Navigating Complexity in an Intercultural World" is the theme.
It's a complex theme.
It's a complex theme, that's right.
So maybe we're going to see the Diversity Icebreaker there as well?
I hope so! That would be great.
