"Well, I have always worked in a diverse and inclusive environment. From different cultural backgrounds to different walks of life, to disabled veterans and the hearing impaired. People are people, and everyone has something to share. I want to grow and learn and experience more of the world, and I love meeting new people. If I worked in an environment that lacked inclusion and diversity, I think I'd go out of my mind."

Cultural competence isn't limited to mitigating bias and ensuring you can collaborate and innovate with those from backgrounds other than yours. It includes having cultured communication skills, being curious, empathetic, and patient, and exhibiting the wisdom to not miss cultural cues or misinterpret tone, reactions, and language barriers, nor be offended by behaviors that carry entirely different social cues than the environment you were raised in.
