Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting adventure, and a challenging process. Regardless of what country you are from, it is common to go through a period of cultural adjustment when you travel or move to a new country. When we move to a new place, we carry our own background and life experiences along with us – and these shape how we perceive and adjust to our new environment.
“Culture shock” is a common term that describes the feelings of confusion, stress, and disorientation that occur when we enter an unfamiliar place. Adjusting to a new culture does not mean that you have to change your own values – but you have to acknowledge and respect those of others.
Adapting to a new culture is a journey, and Nicole Banister is here to teach you all of her tips on how to adjust to new environments – no matter where you are in the world.
Nicole is an international emcee, sex-positive content creator, and the founder of digital storytelling platform, My Basketball Team. Based in Cape Town, South Africa, she has a decade of experience facilitating critical conversations in over 40 countries. Honed by her time as a United Nations Alliance of Civilizations Fellow, along with volunteering with the United States Peace Corps, Nicole has always been passionate about creating authentic, and positive connections.
Nicole is an expert in cross-cultural communication, and integrating into diverse, international communities. Her entire life has been a dynamic blend of different, cultural influences and perspectives. Born to a Black American father and an Iranian immigrant mother, she grew up experiencing different cultures first-hand, across the United States, Singapore, and Bolivia.
Nicole truly believes that making a conscious decision to establish friendships with people from other cultures is key to bringing out our own strengths, and eliminating our fear of the unknown. After traveling the world, she has learned how to make new friends, build professional relationships in new cities, and is now ready to launch her own academy and online course.
Now, you can learn Nicole’s practical approaches to communicating, connecting and remaining culturally sensitive as you navigate brand new environments. Whether you’re a travel blogger, a career diplomat, moving overseas to a brand new country, or simply planning a vacation to a new city – this course will give you invaluable, cross-cultural communication strategies to take with you.
This is a unique opportunity to learn practical and personal tips for traveling abroad, social tools for an inclusive and celebratory approach to differences, and it will teach you how to manage your expectations when traveling somewhere new. Not only this, but Nicole will teach you how to avoid common mistakes when exploring new communities, and give you tools to help you move past culture shock.
The How To Adapt To New Cultures course will not only teach you tips to holistically prepare yourself for new adventures, but it will also help you prepare for the unknown – and learn how to thrive through it.
You will get personalized feedback in a virtual live session from trainers, and you will get to chat with Nicole Banister herself in your monthly meet-up!
Through this course, you will form your own community and network. You will get to learn alongside other students, travelers, nomads, and creators – and get a chance to share your experiences with one another.
