Global Leadership Program

The Global Leadership Program is offered by the Robertson Resident Life and Intercultural Development Office at International House, UC Berkeley. This program aims to provide I-House residents with tools to enhance their leadership skills through the lens of Cultural Intelligence and Cultural Values. The program will consist of two half-day (weekend) workshops and 1-1 debriefing sessions. In addition, participants must engage in existing I-House programming and experiential learning opportunities.

Program Highlights

  • Cultural Intelligence Assessment: You will take a Cultural Intelligence Assessment to measure your capability for working and relating across cultures. The assessment evaluates skills in four distinct areas, and you'll receive a debrief session to discuss your results and progress.Cultural Intelligence Center: https://culturalq.com/about-cultural-intelligence/

The program challenged my thinking about how global leadership can be most effective in promoting positive change for a more peaceful world. I will carry the cultural intelligence and professional skills I developed, particularly in collaboration, management, and public speaking, into my future career, where I aspire to address international affairs.
