How can individuals enhance their cultural awareness and sensitivity in order to effectively navigate communication challenges in diverse environments?

Individuals can enhance their cultural awareness and sensitivity by actively seeking to learn about different cultures through books, workshops, and interactions with diverse groups. They can also practice empathy and open-mindedness when engaging with people from different backgrounds, and be willing to adapt their communication style to accommodate cultural differences. Additionally, individuals can seek feedback from others on their cultural competence and continuously reflect on their own biases and assumptions to improve their intercultural communication skills.
