Beyond IQ and EQ: The Power of CQ for Leaders

Understand the unique roles of IQ, EQ, and CQ in today’s global world and how they affect leadership. In this webinar, you’ll discover why Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is the key differentiator for leaders navigating diverse teams, and learn actionable strategies to build inclusion, drive innovation, and lead with impact across cultures.

The CQ Center’s own Cortney Schaefer (Vice President, Finance and Operations) will be joined by Andrej Juriga (Founder and Managing Director, Cultural Bridge) to discuss and provide key takeaways on why CQ is the vital skill to have in 2026.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Clearly explain the differences between IQ, EQ, and CQ in language that their teams can easily understand.
  • Identify one pressing business challenge that could benefit from CQ-driven leadership.
  • Apply a three-step play to embed CQ into coaching conversations, team meetings, and decision-making processes.
