CQ [Cultural Intelligence] is no longer optional.
It's a performance metric.
You’ve seen it happen: misunderstandings that slow down delivery, meetings that fall uncomfortably silent when you ask for feedback and retros where the same points keep resurfacing. You can feel there’s something playing underneath the surface but it’s hard to name, let alone address.
CQ goes beyond simply knowing facts about other cultures. It's about recognising cultural dynamics at work in daily situations and reflecting on your own behavior to streamline collaboration.
For everyone working across cultures, CQ is not a "nice-to-have" skill.
It is a performance capability.

Hi, my name is Teuntje. You say [Tewn-Che].
I’ve worked in teams where five languages were spoken before lunch. I’ve pitched to clients in different cultural contexts. I’ve navigated misunderstandings, silos, and “why isn’t this landing?” moments myself.
And… I’ve seen how quickly things shift once the cultural logic becomes visible.
I bring cultural clarity, shaped by more than 20 years of working, studying, and leading across cultures.
