Author a New CQ Resource

Create and produce a new CQ solution to expand your authority as a CQ thought leader (book, course, podcast, organizational strategy, etc.). CQ Fellows will provide the tools needed to make this a reality.

Program Content

The burgeoning body of cultural intelligence research serves as the foundation for CQ Fellows.

We dig into the latest findings and talk about how to translate those findings for practitioners. The program is designed for both independent consultants and individuals working inside organizations.

The program content is designed with the confirmed participants in mind but the following is a minimum of the themes we will cover:

Translational Research

Learn how to translate rigorous research into relevant insights for real-world results.

Defining Your Niche

Identify the audience, context and domain where you can have the most impact.

From Concept To Publication

Develop a plan to create your new CQ resource. This might be a book, podcast, or a tool designed for your organization.

Leveraging Your Expertise

Gain tools for marketing your thought leadership in a way that is true to you and will expand your influence and impact.

“Expand your influence, shape the future of cultural intelligence, and make lasting connections with other CQ thought leaders .”

What CQ Fellows Alumni Say

Upon completion of the one-year fellowship, CQ Fellows become lifelong members of the Society of CQ Fellows, a core group of thought leaders working together to build a more culturally intelligent world.

Being a part of CQ Fellows is one of the best things I’ve done personally and professionally. It’s an unforgettable highlight. The quality and thoughtfulness of the group masterminds combined with interaction with Dr. Livermore and the greater CQ team was incredible
Allison CoventryFree Methodist Denomination
Increased confidence, direction and a wonderful new network are just a few of the positive elements I'm taking from my experience as a CQ Fellow. Dr Livermore's leadership of getting behind people, encouraging, challenging and accepting us all set the tone. The curation of discussion, activity and meetings through the year was productive and such a valuable process. I've gained so much that is positive.

David Livermore has supported, empowered and enriched my professional and personal life in so many ways. As the first group of 18 CQ Fellows, we learn together, laugh together, dive deep, and work together to build bridges in a world full of fences. I’m so glad I decided to invest in this.
