Helping people develop their “cultural intelligence is Leslie’s passion. Cultural Intelligence or CQ is the capability to relate and work effectively in culturally diverse situations. Whether you are a teacher with immigrants in class, a church reaching across racial divides, a missionary moving to a new culture, or a teenager trying to make a difference in the neighborhood, CQ is essential!
Combining education and cross-cultural experience and ministry, Leslie is poised to help others grow in understanding people from diverse situations.
