Communicating Effectively

I find myself communicating differently with people from different groups and cultures at times. My experience has been rewarding because I have been able to become more educated about their family history, dishes that have been passed, and perspectives on religion. I communicate differently because this conversation always lead to open ended questions and is very informative. I am also able to share information about my culture and we are able to listen without being biased. I have learned many things while communicating with colleagues and families. The strategies that I can use while communicating with families is avoiding being judgmental, listening actively when communicating and always be open to understand and appreciate cultural differences.
