About
Do you find your Global North and Global South team members sometimes operating with a sense of disconnect? Does the pursuit of your shared goals encounter friction from differing expectations and underlying assumptions?

Yet, fostering this cohesion, crucial for collaboration and innovation, often presents a significant challenge. This can lead to hindered progress and untapped potential, highlighting the need for intentional strategies to bridge cultural divides and foster resilience.
