His tips to become more culturally competent are: * Start at open: Be honest about your motives and feelings (and respect others') to create a space where people can feel safe. * Discover and respect individual differences beneath culture, race, religion, gender, etc. Personality differences are universal and often account for why we see things differently. * Re-frame your relationship with conflict as an energy source for positive change. Treat people like they are worthwhile, capable, and accountable.
