While the best global experience is to spend time working overseas, there are a number of things you can do to boost your global awareness:

Study the world news and find out how global events may affect your industry. Make a habit of reading from at least three continents, whether newspapers or Twitter feeds.

Boost your social capital by building your network of people from different cultures.

Practice ways to feel comfortable in new environments. Seek out new cuisines—the more exotic the better—or attend cultural festivals, music or theater shows, or author readings; take a class about a foreign land; learn a second or third language.

Volunteer to host international students from your local schools so that you can get to know their customs.

Vacation abroad. A number of opportunities exist to volunteer your time abroad, or there are ways to travel relatively inexpensively. We know Millennials who travel abroad regularly to work with non-governmental organizations and use social media sites such as GoFundMe.com to raise funds for their experiences.

Seek out opportunities at work to travel or ask for assignments abroad.
