A creative fusion between:

Afshan Baksh, Lego Serious Play Facilitator and founder of Transformation Space
What would change for the better if your capability to lead and work in your diverse, international organisation improved?
Join us for this immersive, hands-on workshop, where you'll harness the power of play to develop Cultural Intelligence (CQ)™ through the creative use of Lego® Serious Play®. You'll learn about CQ™ and how to better navigate diverse and complex situations and embrace diversity like never before.
Build your motivation, confidence, knowledge, strategy, and adaptability.
Cultural Intelligence is about navigating the complexity of culture. Lego Serious Play is a creative way to tap into our potential to keep doing that well.
Are you ready to level up your leadership skills?
Who Should Attend?
Whether you are in business, education, or the NHS, we all work in diverse, complex, international environments. But what skills enable us to be inclusive and effective in our multicultural, international organisations?
Rigorous academic research demonstrates that building Cultural Intelligence enhances global effectiveness and inclusion.
People with high levels of CQ™ are better equipped to build rapport, and trust, and communicate effectively when working across cultures. There are four key capabilities. Discover how to keep building yours:
- CQ™ Drive
- CQ™ Knowledge
- CQ™ Strategy
- CQ™ Action
What to Expect
At Culture Lab, we believe in a hands-on approach to learning. That's why we're taking a unique approach to enhancing your CQ. We'll guide you through the world of Cultural Intelligence, and we'll do it through the engaging and transformative medium of Lego Serious Play.
- Learn how Cultural Intelligence (CQ) provides a core set of capabilities and skills to support inclusion and international effectiveness.
- Understand how your CQ™ capabilities, values, and biases enable you to navigate diverse and complex situations better.
- Explore what inclusion means to you and how CQ™ is key to ensuring inclusion.
“I enjoyed the opportunity to participate in the training. It allowed me to stop, breathe, and reflect. The workshop, particularly the Lego aspect, helped me reflect on my impressions of myself and how others work and perceive things. Since the workshop, I have consciously reflected on my communication before executing it personally and professionally.”
Lisa Collett, International Education Consultant
