Deran and Fatimah discuss the Intercultural Development Continuum (IDC) – a concept that helps individuals assess their flexibility with other cultures – and explore issues of power, conflict, subtle acts of exclusion, and relational repair. The IDC explains that intercultural competency ranges from complete denial that other different types of people exist – minimizing them and de-emphasizing differences – to people who are fully able to adapt to various cultures with little difficulty or judgment involved.
Fatimah Finney, LMHC is a DEI consultant, a trainer at the IFS Institute and a certified IFS therapist who supports adult clients navigating stressors in their workplaces. She is also a Qualified Administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory and helps people assess their capacity for engaging cross-culturally with others.
