Training & Development

Your goal is to develop your intercultural competence and become an interculturally competent professional/leader. As you develop your own intercultural competence, you will begin to notice how intentional and more effective you are as you work in a diverse workplace. You will begin to see your work environment, client relationships, business operations, and all aspects of your work from an intercultural perspective. Increasing this competence, enables you to be an intercultural leader – one who is not only ready to work effectively yourself but also can help others develop their intercultural competence. The Intercultural Development Inventory is used to assess your current place in the process of intercultural development, and this information will be used to design the most meaningful learning programs for you.
