Developing Cultural Intelligence and a Global Mindset

In a world that has increasingly become more globalized and challenging, it has become very important for those in the corporate world, and especially for those about to enter it, to understand what the new concept of Global Mindset is, why it is important for business leaders, and how one can develop it early on in one's career.

All those who intend to, or have already started working locally or across borders, will need to develop the important skills of Global Mindset and Cultural Intelligence — one of the most impactful issues caused by globalization. This course will introduce you to the essential tools and know-how to put you on the right track to develop a Global Mindset.
