The Healing Power of CQ: How Cultural Intelligence Can Deepen Your Connections & Reconcile Your Relationships with Guest: Loren Rosario-Maldonado
05/20/25 • 83 min
New times demand new approaches—not just in leadership but in how we connect with others. Today’s relationships, whether in the workplace, at home, or within our communities, require a deeper level of awareness and adaptability—what Loren Rosario-Maldonado calls Cultural Intelligence (CQ).
Much like leadership must transcend departments and titles, Cultural Intelligence enables individuals to break past surface-level connections and understand the nuances that shape interactions in a globally interconnected world. No one comes to the table unaffected by personal experiences, cultural backgrounds, or external influences, and leaders who acknowledge this reality can foster stronger, more meaningful relationships.
By embracing Cultural Intelligence, you won’t just improve engagement and communication—you may also unlock a deeper level of self-awareness and connection that transforms interactions in work, social settings, and everyday life.
Join me on this episode of The Coach’s Corner as I dive deeper into this concept with Loren. Together, we’ll break down the power of CQ and how it helps us navigate the complexities of human relationships.
Loren’s life is a testament to the incredible power of nurturing leadership within each of us, at every level. Her journey, rich with experience, has been a beacon, transforming organizations and setting new benchmarks of excellence across diverse industries. But despite all her accolades, Loren always felt there was a missing piece in the intricate puzzle of her connections and interactions. Cultural Intelligence was that missing puzzle piece.
In her inspiring new book, Becoming the Change: The Power of Cultural Intelligence, Loren invites us into her journey of revelation and growth. Here, she passionately digs into the transformative potential of cultural intelligence. It’s not just about broadening our horizons; it’s a journey to the core of self-discovery. Loren’s book is more than pages and words; it’s an invitation to embark on a deeply personal and enlightening journey, exploring how embracing cultural intelligence can open doors to understanding ourselves and the world around us.
