CULTURE shapes our beliefs, traditions, and the way we see the world. Whether in our personal lives or business, understanding and valuing culture is so important! On a personal level, culture gives us a sense of identity and belonging. It helps us connect with our roots and understand who we are. Embracing our culture also makes us more open to other people's traditions and perspectives, which is key to building strong AND respectful relationships. I feel, and we should all feel, that in the business world, culture is just as important. A positive company culture can drive creativity, keep teams together who always want to collaborate together, and create a great work atmosphere. Plus, being aware of different cultures helps in communicating better, working effectively with teams that have a very diverse global background (more common in mega-companies), and connecting with customers in a meaningful way. Culture is more than just a set of customs or traditions. It’s a big part of who we are and how we interact with the world and our co-workers. Whether in life or business, understanding and appreciating culture is important for personal growth and success. Video: one of the many fireworks happening while we were walking with hundreds perhaps, thousands of people behind a dozen or so Saints in last night's procession. Many families, including mine, donated money and sponsored fireworks during the 3-plus hour walk through the streets. The saint in this video is Saint Rocco who we are celebrating at this feast. There was an amazing band further in the distance also a group saying prayers on a loud speaker. This is part of my culture and tradition and I'm VERY PROUD of it!!!!! My parents have spent a lot of time and effort making sure my brothers and I know our roots but also taught us to love the country that allowed them to get out of poverty....the USA. This is one of so many amazing videos I have of last nights experience. Truly breathtaking. #culture #values #proaccel #companyculture
