Only a portion of the slides and just a tiny glimpse of a workshop I conducted 5 years ago on the 5 dimensions of culture by Geert Hofstede.
Since then I think Hofstede has added "Indulgence" as a 6th dimension.

Stages of how we attribute meaning –
I. Observation
II. Interpretation
III. Evaluation
“Dereasing our tendency to evaluate (snap judgments of good v.
bad based on our own biases) reduces potential for
misunderstanding.” Hofstede, G.J. 2002
13. Intent / Choices
“Your life is the sum result of all the
choices you make, both consciously and
unconsciously. If you can control the
process of choosing, you can take control
of all aspects of your life. You can find the
freedom that comes from being in charge
of yourself.” Robert F. Bennett

16. Power of Questions
• Questions make people want to respond
therefore THINK.
• Thinking strengthens thinking, creativity and
OWNERSHIP.
• Ownership, authorship catalyzes ACTION and
accountability.

a rich tapestry, and we must understand that
all the threads of the tapestry are equal in
value no matter what their color.”
