046: Why Culture Plays a Role in Sports; Susan Salzbrenner

Why Culture Plays a Role in Sports About This Week's Guest Susan Salzbrenner Susan Salzbrenner supports multicultural teams, professional athletes, and leaders of today and tomorrow to navigate diverse cultural contexts. In this podcast, she explains the role that culture plays a role in sports. She is an organizational psychologist, consultant, and trainer, focusing on diversity & inclusion, cultural intelligence, and international talent development. She's lived in 6 countries on four continents, has learned (and failed at) many languages, and played a bit of basketball along the way. Her three tips for becoming more culturally competent follow the acronym FIT F: Find new perspectives. Observe stuff that is new to you; actively look for new and unfamiliar things I: Integrate what you have found into your own life and personality T: Trust the process; don't be impatient. It will happen but might need time.
