Cultural Intelligence (CQ®) is the ability to work and relate effectively with people from different cultural backgrounds. Every day we interact with people who are different from ourselves—whether due to nationality, ethnicity, generation, or family subcultures. These differences often create communication challenges, but by developing cultural intelligence you can learn how to harness differences into strengths, understand people without stereotyping, and strategize how to relate effectively with others.
The Developing CQ Workshop uses proven strategies to improve your ability to work and relate with people from different backgrounds. In this interactive program you get to build on your real-life experiences, learn concrete steps to improve and apply cultural intelligence, and walk away with a personal development plan for using CQ to make a difference in your relationships with others.
Course participants will learn about their own level of cultural intelligence and the four capabilities of CQ: CQ Drive, CQ Knowledge, CQ Action, and CQ Strategy.
