“Cultural Intelligence is one of the 10+ most important job skills every company will be looking for in 2020. Employees with strong cultural intelligence who can adapt to others who might perceive the world differently are key in developing more inclusive products and services for an organization.”
Why should you invest in your organization’s cultural intelligence?
An investment in cultural intelligence is an investment in the people that work hard for you every day, which is an investment back into your own organization.
Cultural Intelligence can:
INCREASE YOUR ABILITY TO RESOLVE CULTURAL CONFLICTS
IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF CULTURE-CENTRIC DECISIONS
ENABLE SUCCESSFUL EXPANSION INTO NEW CULTURAL MARKETS
PROMOTE INCLUSION AND BELONGING ON TEAMS
“Robin Shabazz is amazing! She was our keynote speaker for the Clermont Chamber DEI event. It was by far the BEST event I’ve attended at the Chamber or quite honestly any. Robin did an excellent job of educating, sharing, giving examples, keeping everyone and engaged all while being on Zoom instead of live.”
