Cross & Inter-cultural Intelligence

CQ, cultural Intelligence in addition to IQ and EQ, is the ability to function effectively in situations characterised by cultural diversity (* Ang, Van Dyne, & Koh, 2005; Earley & Ang, 2003; Earley & Mosakowski, 2005).  Leverage cultural differences as your advantages instead of barriers.

 

3 Colors Worldview Discovery Tool

To start the journey of inter-cultural intelligence, start from understanding yourself using this discovery tool.  The beliefs and assumptions underlying behavior and culture help you better understand yourself as well as other people.

Foundation Stage 1

The world has gone global and we live and work in the daily reality of complex global and intercultural relationships.

To successfully interact with the increasing cultural diversity around us we must go beyond a superficial nationality-driven understanding of culture.  This requires us to elevate our thinking and equip ourselves to explore each person's unique cultural wiring; we call it "Self-Cultural Analysis".  These will greatly aid you in understanding and navigating any multi-cultural context.

Our workshops are designed by applying Kolb Learning Styles as well as HPLJ methodology (High Performing Learning Journey), resulting in a rich and diverse learning environment that integrates
the right combination of challenge and support for the learners.

This program will equip you with the skills and competencies that will allow you to take your intercultural relationship skills to the next level. Throughout the program we will focus on three
areas:

  1. Perception management: how do I see the world around me and what information do I
    gather?
  2. Self management: do I understand my (cultural) self
  3. Relationship management: am I equipped to lead/follow in an interculturally complex world
