There is a myth in diversity, equity and inclusion work that people either “get it” or they don’t.  Intercultural development acknowledges that we learn to bridge cultural differences and commonalities in a series of predictable developmental mindsets.  Each developmental mindset calls on us to build specific knowledge and skills to become more effective in meeting our goals.

​

Listen to Lead uses the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) to assess intercultural competence—the capability to shift cultural perspective and adapt behavior to cultural differences and commonalities. This 50-item online inventory is simple to complete and is considered the international “gold standard” in measuring intercultural competence and development.

​

The IDI tells us where to start with the project; your goals tell us where to go.  Using the information from your individual, team and/or organizational IDI profile, Listen to Lead customizes training, coaching and facilitation to engage you in developmentally appropriate skill building that helps you reach your equity and justice goals.
