This company was founded on the belief that all of us must do our part to learn from one another and grow our cultural intelligence. In today’s globalized world, diversity is not only inevitable—it’s a powerful asset that benefits everyone.
With that in mind, we provide Cultural Intelligence (CQ) Training and Workshops for both humans and AI, serving government agencies and private sector organizations alike.
We are a team of dedicated, professional linguists from around the world. Passionate about languages, we help connect you—and the services you offer—to communities that might otherwise remain out of reach. Through complete language and content localization and language learning tools like The Polyglot Porch: Conversation Workshops, we make global communication more accessible. (See our Services tab for more information.)
We also engage in community development—a meaningful way to give back to the communities we are learning from. As we strive to be more culturally and linguistically competent, we invest in initiatives that support Creoles and Low-Resource Languages. (See our Creoles & Low-Resource Language Initiatives tab to learn more.)
Our podcast, Beyond Words, is inspired by years of “translating while traveling.” It offers a unique resource to help boost cultural IQ and deepen global connections. (Visit our Podcast page for more.)
We are a team of highly trained, experienced linguists who place cultural understanding at the heart of everything we do. Our shared mission is to help you extend your global reach so that countless individuals around the world can access—and benefit from—the valuable services you provide, both at home and abroad.
To achieve this, we offer:
Accessible, high-quality translation and interpretation services
Cultural competence training and conversation workshops
A commitment to promoting linguistic diversity, including African languages and dialects, Creoles, and Patois—languages that are too often underrepresented in academic and global discourse.
Rooted in multinational, multicultural, and multiethnic expertise, our team combines professional excellence with deep cultural insight. With expert leadership and a client-centered approach, we help improve team communication and cohesion, empowering you to better serve your clients and beneficiaries—while increasing the overall value of your organization.
Together, we make linguistic and cultural diversity work for everyone.
