Cultural Intelligence (CQ) – CQ 360
Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is the ability to effectively adapt and interact with people from diverse cultures. It’s not just about knowledge of different cultures, but also about the motivation, strategy, and action one takes when engaging with people from various backgrounds. CQ involves understanding cultural differences, being aware of their impact, and adapting one’s behavior accordingly.
Benefits of CQ:
The CQ 360 assessment measures an individual’s capability for working and relating effectively across cultures by measuring self-rated and observer-rated scores.
Team Behavioral Preferences Mapping
Behavioral Preferences (also called Cultural Values) are preferences people have for how they navigate life. These values indicate how people prefer to interact, communicate, plan, and complete tasks. There are no right or wrong preferences. Effective Teammates know how to flex their behavior to accommodate different teammate preferences. Effective Leaders know how to accommodate team member preferences when leading the team.
This is one of the most effective tools for improving team communication and overall performance.
Culturally Competent Leader
Effective leaders need to be culturally competent – able to function and relate effectively while staying aware of differing cultural identities. We help leaders and teams align by raising their inter- and intra-personal awareness, developing inclusive attitudes and skills, and taking targeted actions to foster belonging. Our team will guide you on a 12-month journey of transformation as you engage with multiple assessments and tools to build cultural competence.
Leaders today are expected to navigate generational divides and bring together people from many backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. Leading diverse teams to success requires leaders who are better equipped to foster collaboration, promote mutual understanding, and build trust among employees. We will guide you on a journey of transformation as you engage with multiple assessments and tools to build cultural competence. These tools, coaching sessions, and workshops promote insights, reflective learning and action that allows individuals to invest in leadership development.
Fair Hiring Practices
Building a diverse workforce starts with creating an inclusive culture where individuals from all backgrounds feel valued. By fostering a welcoming environment, your organization will be better positioned to attract and retain top talent, enabling you to meet the evolving needs of an increasingly diverse clientele.
This daylong workshop allows leaders to understand the need for providing brave spaces where tough questions can be asked without fear of retaliation, understand why we should not hire for “culture fit”, learn and apply the most common biases in hiring. It will also allow time to reflect on ways to mitigate bias in the three areas of the hiring process: Pre-Interview, Interview Process, and Job Offer: Follow-Up & Onboarding.
