Introduction:This episode is with Jorgé Avilés, a cross-cultural ambassador currently working with Canada West Land in Calgary, Alberta. It doesn’t take us long to get deep into a conversation about the roots and the philosophy of collaboration. It’s a place where culture becomes one of many identifiers and sources of perspective for collaboration. As Jorgé describes his thinking, it becomes clear that underlying all of our interactions, all of our collaboration, is a commonality that is our humanness. We are all more than any label and there is more that makes us alike than makes us different.During this episode we discuss:Getting to know Jorgé  - an engineer who repentedIdentity through similaritiesAsking the right questionsCommonalities within collaborationsAmbassadors for collaborationHow common is the mindset?Moving beyond solutionsLabels on peopleLast thoughts Resources mentioned in this episode:Canada West Land (mentioned as CWL in the episode)Book: Leading with Cultural Intelligence by David LivermoreNow it’s your turnI mentioned Canada West Land, where Jorgé works, in the Resources section.
