(Two kind students emailed me to let me know that they cannot see the

reflective forum for this week. I am not sure what went wrong but I will have to
redo the group setup on Friday, so please don't post yet. Thanks!)
UPDATE: Due to the technical problems, there is no deadline this Sunday, both
items are due on Sunday the 23rd. Enjoy your weekend!

This blog contribution will (eventually) take place in smaller groups

Please read the Earley and Mosakowsky text on Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and
complete the self analysis (Diagnosing your CQ), which is part of the article.
For this blog post, I would like to try something different with you. I would like
you to engage in further reflective practice. Identify the area within your CQ
that is lowest (cognitive CQ, physical CQ, emotional CQ) or,
alternatively, identify one of the six CQ profiles that describes you best. As a
next step, identify what you need to improve or work on to increase your CQ .
These two steps need to be posted by Sunday (this will be rather short, no
minimum word count) .
You will then have an additional week to consider how you can improve in this
particular area. I would assume that you will need to find your own strategies
and approaches, I don't think the article will provide you with enough
strategies. This part of the task is a little bit more challenging and will require
creativity and possibly a little bit of research.
Feel free to connect with people in your group and ask for advise,
recommendations, or food for thought. At the same time offer ideas or insights
in a kind and supportive manner to your colleagues.
