"Big thank you to the qualitative difference in the coaching sessions provided by Intercultural Development Group. I had taken the IDI training to be a QA, but knew I needed more support and practice. Nehrwr Reuel was able to provide resources, numerous examples from his coaching, and verbiage in alignment with the IDI. His ability to both provide the framework, while also narrowing in on the specifics help me navigate and stay focused while introducing and debriefing participants. The coaching sessions helped make me a more prepared, thoughtful and confident QA, and I know this will affect how our team relates to each other, and the students we serve."

The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) is a 50-item, theory-based instrument that assess the major stages of intercultural competence as conceptualized in Dr. Mitch Hammer’s Intercultural Development Continuum (IDC) theory. The instrument is easy to complete, and it can generate a graphic profile of an individual’s or group’s predominant stage of intercultural development.
Other measures of “intercultural competence” are criterion-referenced, in that they measure how close the respondent matches a set of characteristics or behaviors thought to be associated with intercultural competence. It is difficult to establish reliability and validity for such tests. As a theory-based test, the IDI meets rigorous scientific criteria for a valid psychometric instrument. The resulting data is both descriptive and prescriptive in that it helps understand existing strategies and their challenges as well as prescribes stage-appropriate development interventions to assist the learner achieve their cross-cultural goals.

Being aware of one’s own preferred cultural conflict style is critically important in effectively resolving disputes across cultures. Dr. Mitch Hammer’s Intercultural Conflict Styles model is the premier tool in creating healthy dialogue and effective strategies for bridging the cultural divide of conflict. This session will assist participants in being able to accurately recognize their own cultural conflict style and the style of others. They will also develop key strategies for how to shift and adapt their behavior to improve their effectiveness when confronted with different cultural conflict styles.
