In this episode, Trisha reviews key themes emerging across the last five episodes.
This makes the practice of reflection real. It is a key metacognitive skill that can build cultural intelligence. It is interesting to see that somewhat different themes emerge in these episodes from some of the earlier summaries.
This quote is from Lucy Butters, Shifts for Cultural Intelligence Facilitators, episode 24; "Learning happens when we feel something, especially something like this - you have to be motivated yourself. You want to take it on and commit to some different ways of being and doing."
