Like an iceberg, the visible part of culture is only a small part of a much larger whole. Visible aspects of SG might be about self/other, anything in room, or visual 'clues' about such aspects as race, gender, age, ability, culture, and other aspects of appearance. It has some aspects that are visible and many others that can only be suspected, guessed, or learned as you grow to understand cultures. These include: Burnham Roper-Hall working clinically with older adults Heaphy in training exercises and so on. As far as the above-abridged story, in short, the. Americans it may be through speed, and for the French, it may be through a shared history. For the Chinese it is through Guanxi, for the Germans, it is through objectivity and timeliness, for U.S. The way to establish trust (Visible Culture) varies. Many imaginative exercises have been created to explore the more complex relationships between practitioners and the SG, and to enable them to be more practically competent in using them. The shared value (Invisible Culture) is trust. The collide-scope is intended to generate curiosity and an awareness of therapists relative positioning in relation to the aspects of difference for themselves, and to the positioning of their colleagues/clients. The collide-scope suggests difference, variety, movement, complexity, fluidity, and can excite therapist's imagination. It introduces the distinction between Personal and Social GGRRAAACCEEESSS, and explores the differences within SG, along the dimensions of visible–invisible and voiced–unvoiced. To understand culture, you must study environmental influences, both the invisible and visible, the internal and external. This chapter describes its history, presentations, applications, and exercises. Culture is shaped by visible and invisible forces, some of which leaders can control and others to which leaders must react.

The 'Social GGRRAAACCEEESSS' (SG) is a mnemonic developed jointly with Alison Roper-Hall.
