Cultural EQ: A Superpower for Individuals and Organisations
   Creating a culture of belonging unlocks true human potential. Inclusive cultures make people and organisations thrive. Diverse and inclusive teams are more innovative and perform up to 30% better. Retention and engagement are higher when employees feel they belong. With inclusion, everybody wins.    Having lived in 9 countries across 4 continents and having led large multicultural teams in Asia-Pacific, Veronica blends her professional experience with her personal storytelling to inspire curiosity and compassion and help cross-cultural teams to work inclusively and grow from their differences. She breaks down the concept of cultural agility, illustrates it with eye-opening anecdotes, and provides a competencies-based toolkit to develop cultural intelligence and soft skills effectively.
