In this episode, we sit down with Renae Ninneman, founder of Going Beyond Tourism and CulturalQ, to explore what it really means to develop cultural intelligence (CQ). We go beyond surface-level awareness to unpack how CQ shapes how we travel, connect, and show up in diverse spaces.
Renae shares her journey into cross-cultural work, breaks down the difference between cultural awareness and true intelligence, and explains how intentional preparation can transform your travel experiences. We also dive into real-life applications, including a look at Benef's cultural intelligence assessment results and what they reveal.
Whether you're traveling abroad, working across cultures, or just trying to better understand the world around you, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to move beyond tourism and into meaningful connection.
