What's new for CIC members?

June was a busy month for the CIC (Cultural Intelligence Collective).  We focused on the early days of an expat assignment as many of our clients from the northern hemisphere are in the early stages of transition.  We held two webinars discussing the topics below. Members can access these webinars which have been uploaded to the Resource Library.
