EQ: How might centering cultural competency in our schools/workplace change & improve the health of our communities?
Guest: Shelley Reinhart, Knowledge Workx, a company specializing in certifying practitioners in inter-cultural intelligence.
After our conversation we decided we needed a Part II–to clarify strengths and limitations of each worldview, unpack the implications of the 3 worldviews Shelly laid out and dig more into the intersection of these world views with such systemic things as race, class, and gender.

Ep. 141: Developing Intercultural Intelligence Part I
Joining us today is Shelley Reinhart, an intercultural intelligence practitioner with Knowledge Workx, a company that certifies practitioners in intercultural intelligence.
In this episode we discuss why it’s important to change how we think about culture–that we can have active roles in shaping culture. Megan and Hope learn foundational elements about the three major worldviews present in society: innocence vs. guilt, honor vs. shame, and power vs. fear. We explore implications for how these worldviews can influence relationships and community building our classrooms and workplaces. Reach out to Shelley on Twitter or LinkedIn
