Cultural Intelligence Webinar
This webinar is designed to provide participants with Cultural Intelligence, or CQ, which is defined by the Harvard Business Review as the ability to make sense of unfamiliar contexts and then blend in. There are four main core components to this concept; cognitive, physical, and emotional, and motivational. Cultural Intelligence can be understood as the capability to relate and work effectively across cultures and various disciplines.
