Michigan Business Beat | Fathy Shetiah, 7C Lingo, Cultural Intelligence More than Culturally “Aware”
from Michigan Business Network · host Michigan Business Network
Chris Holman welcomes Fathy Shetiah, Founder, President & CEO, 7C Lingo, Lansing, MI, to the MBN studio at the Capital Region International Airport, Lansing, MI. Chris had several questions for Fathy to lead into these topics over a series of interviews for which this is the first. To kick things off, how would you explain Cultural Intelligence—and why is it more than just being culturally “aware”? You talk about CQ Drive and CQ Knowledge as foundational—what do those mean, and why do they matter in real-life interactions? Can someone develop Cultural Intelligence over time—or is it something you’re born with? How can someone deepen their cultural understanding without making assumptions or falling into stereotypes? What kind of impact do you see when Cultural Intelligence is strong—or missing—in a workplace or community setting? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN’s YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/
