"CQ is not 'nice to have', but a powerful employability skill and business tool. In Australia, it's all about skills. Your skills is what we are looking for."Divya Srivastava, Emerging Talent Consultant (Business Services), People and Inclusion, KPMG

Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is, according to experts, one of the key skill sets for the 21st Century.

What's in it for you?

* Enables you to manage diversity and uncertainty with confidence.
* Increases your chances of finding rewarding employment and enables you to be flexible in a rapidly changing 
  environment.
* Fosters effective communication with people who are different from you (e.g. age, gender, nationality, organisation, 
  ethnicity, academic/professional background, neurodiversity, etc.), primarily in the workplace but also at university or in
  everyday life.  
* Encourages you to reflect on past experiences, implicit bias and perspective-taking in order to make positive changes
  for the future.

CQ is a globally recognized way of assessing and improving effectiveness in culturally diverse situations. It is rooted in rigorous, academic research.

• A person's CQ can be measured
• Academic research in this field has been conducted across more than 100 countries
• Research behind CQ is based on the same research applied regarding Intellectual intelligence (IQ) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ). There is an important correlation between CQ and EQ.

CQ goes beyond the commonly used concepts of cultural sensitivity and awareness. "Knowing about differences does not mean being able to navigate differences" (Andrej Juriga, Cultural Bridge, LinkedIn post June 2022). 

There are three possibilities for you to further develop your Cultural Intelligence. The choice is yours.
