World Affairs Council and People to People Ambassador Programs invite you to:

Cultural Intelligence: Being a Smarter Global Citizen

February 9 | 6 PM | SIRTI Building on Riverpoint Boulevard | Executive Boardroom-4^th Floor

Registration/Meet-and-Greet at 5:30

There is a new way to think about IQ based on a multiple intelligences model. Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is an academically validated model to prepare you to be a smarter global citizen. Developed by a community of international scholars from the United States and Singapore, CQ provides both a framework and assessment to improve your effectiveness in today’s globalized world.

Join recognized worldwide expert and one of the founders of this model, Dr. David Livermore, as he discusses CQ and how you can apply it in your own life.

“We are very excited that we are able to bring someone of Dr. Livermore’s caliber to Spokane.” says Peg Thomas, president of People to People Ambassador Programs. “People to People has been working with Dr. Livermore for several years within our own organization, and we are pleased that we have this opportunity in partnership with the World Affairs Council to share his work on cultural intelligence with the Spokane community.”
