Cultural Competence and Communication

UBUNTU guides leadership teams, employees, and career professionals to effectively embrace the mindset that cultural competence is the ability to understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with people across cultures. Cultural competence encompasses one’s awareness of self and world view, seeing the importance of gaining knowledge of different cultural practices and world views to develop positive attitudes and behaviors towards others of diverse cultural backgrounds.
Using cross and intercultural communication strategies to improve cultural competence and collaboration within organizations with a diverse workforce and global client base is key to an organization’s or corporation’s social responsibility, diversity, inclusion, and innovation. All leading to the development of a strong well sought out employer brand.

Hermence is one of the most inspiring professionals I have met! Lucky to have worked in partnership with her team at the U.S. Peace Corps early in my career, I am still inspired by her work ethic 10 years later.
Without reservation, I can attest to the fact that Hermence lives and works by principles of inclusivity, respect for diversity, and appreciation for both big ideas and with an eye for little details – while elevating the voices of otherwise voiceless people.

She understands the importance of narratives and the role they play in the choices we make about our health and wellness. As a steward of resources, she pays particular attention to utcomes by leveraging evidence and best practice tempered with a heavy dose of cultural awareness, sensitivity, and common sense. Hermence transforms communities by taking the threads of our experiences and weaving together programs that make sense and improve lives.”

Hermence Matsotsa is an inspirational speaker and teacher. She is self-driven and brilliant. Her model that she has created has helped many people, in particular, women and children. I believe that she is cross generational and I think that she can speak to any audience. As a diversity professional and facilitator Hermence connects with audiences quickly. She understands how to engage people from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences in challenging conversations. Matsotsa’s skillset transcends culture and her style to encourage others to courageously grow is timely. She is outstanding!
