Local celebrations are a wonderful way for area communities and ethnic groups to showcase their heritage and culture. For those of us who are not 2nd or 3rd generation residents, we'll forever be outsiders to an area rich in history, and cultural nuances. And, to be able to attend these celebrations is a great chance to fully understand and appreciate these unique perspectives.
For those of you who don't have roots deep into the region, please find time to attend and enjoy these vibrant community events.
In the business world as well, newcomers to a community or corporate culture often find themselves on the outside looking in. The real challenge is the ability for folks to adopt to local customs and practices and for the locals to allow the newcomer some time to adjust to local norms. The lines occasionally blur as individuals and organizations try to determine which moves first, the mountain or the person.
It's a delicate dance.
