708 Words3 Pages

Personal Development Contract (SLC)
My Strategic Learning Contract (SLC) has been evolving from when I first created it prior to attending Intensive II. During our time in Dana Point, we had the opportunity to review our SLC with our learning group, which provided me with a lot of candid feedback. Since that time, I have been using my LG team member feedback, and incorporating those components into my SLC. I have also been striving to evolve my SLC to a state in which I feel it is close to being locked in, understanding this needs to be completed by our second practicum.

On Antal and Friedman’s Stage of Adaption, I see myself somewhere between Acceptance and Adaptation. Through past international travel, I have learned to accept and welcome cultural differences. This aligns with my high CQ Drive, Strategy, and Action scores.
Regarding cultural intelligence, there is one area from my CQ report that I want to focus on while in Lyon around CQ Knowledge and understanding the French culture.

  • CQ In Cultural Intelligence: Individual Interactions Across Cultures

    1262 Words  | 6 Pages

    The construct of CQ was introduced by Earley (2002), and Earley and Ang (2003) to explain differences in the effectiveness of individual interactions across cultures. CQ refers to “a form of situated intelligence where intelligently adaptive behaviors are culturally bound to the values and beliefs of a given society or culture” (Earley&Ang, 2003, p. 59) as it is defined as a person’s capability to adapt effectively to new cultural contexts. Meanwhile, Mosakowski et al. (2013) defined CQ as a set of values, attitudes, and behaviors that function together in a system and facilitate working across cultural divides. Early and Peterson (2004) stated that CQ ‘‘is the ability to engage in a set of behaviors that uses skills (i.e., language or interpersonal skills) and qualities (e.g., tolerance for ambiguity, flexibility) that are tuned appropriately to the culture-based values and attitudes of the people with whom one interacts”.
