As a result, cultural competencies become intuitive and automatic over time and our clients shift to a mindset of “unconscious competence”.

Underrated life skill: Listening without waiting to talk. You’ll be shocked how much people tell you—if you actually let them finish. What folks want isn’t advice. It’s your attention. You don’t win people over with your story. You win them over by letting them finish theirs.
