1Education

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

—Nelson Mandela

To me, true education involves a few things—IQ, EQ, and CQ, or intelligence quotient, emotional intelligence, and cultural intelligence—that allow us to get a better sense of who we truly are, how others see us, how we fit into the world around us, and the implications of our actions. Essentially, what we are after here is the education of ourselves and education of our environments.

If we don't know who we are, we won't be able to know what to work on in order to become better connectors, so let's get into what makes up your internal culture. Education of self has to do with understanding your internal culture and education of environment has to do with understanding your external culture.

Both of these cultures involve listening and observing. Gaining mastery of your internal cultures is about listening and observing your biases as well as your core values, and gaining mastery of your external cultures is about listening and observing what is around you.
