Who We Are
We are a women-owned, innovative, research-based training and consulting firm founded right here in Michigan, that draws upon empirical research findings to help organizations and individuals around the world assess and improve Cultural Intelligence (CQ®).

We are proud of our women-owned certification and our local Michigan roots. Our solutions are available to MiDeal members, and we are a preferred vendor of the State of Michigan. We partner with some of Michigan’s largest healthcare systems and are proud of our partnership and ACCME accreditation with Michigan State Medical Society.
The CQ Difference
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE, or CQ, is a globally recognized way of assessing and improving effectiveness in culturally diverse situations and is an academically valid approach to addressing Bias in a healthcare setting. It’s rooted in decades of rigorous, peer-reviewed, academic research conducted across more than 100 countries.
In other words, we are not interested in shaming or guilting anyone. We take a neutral and positive approach to bias in healthcare, and 94% of participants who take our courses leave feeling more confident addressing bias in their workplace.
