Interview with Lucy Butters, Cultural Intelligence expert
‘It always comes back to people and nurturing their capability’. This is the motivation for Lucy Butters, a Cultural Intelligence coach and facilitator. But what does it mean to be ‘culturally intelligent’ and what could a culturally intelligent higher education system look like?
Lucy talks to Louise Clifton about why we need to ask more questions, more often, and find greater compassion for one another – not just across national cultures but across cultural differences such as generations too. If we can do this well, we can unlock potential and work together better to solve the big problems facing our world.
