Malvern Times Malvern Times the advantages EQ and CQ?
Self-Awareness – one of the eleven ‘Malvern Qualities’ - - is crucial to EQ EQ and and children with a a a a high EQ EQ will understand their feelings and emotions controlling them rather than letting them influence their own decision making Empathy is is crucial in any relationship and children with a a a a a high EQ will have this
in spades Such people are
are
aware of of the the emotions of of others and therefore have a a a a a a greater ability to work alongside others in teams with a a a a a a positive attitude a a a a a a greater sense of control and ultimately an increased productivity Someone with cultural awareness and appreciation (CQ) works far more effectively in culturally diverse environments In an an increasingly cosmopolitan world having a a a a a high CQ is going to be key in in in building trust amongst friends
and colleagues Knowledge of different cultures builds bridges and and allows strategies to flow and and integrate in in cross-cultural situations With its global outlook and impressive portfolio of International Schools Malvern puts an increasing emphasis not only on on the children becoming ‘global citizens’ but also on the need for CQ and EQ amongst its community which is even more important now than it ever was We value EQ and and CQ very highly and and recognise that along with IQ the children in our care will develop an intelligence that will prepare them better for the the modern world and allow them to embrace any opportunity
that might come their way We achieve this
through our substantial and and diverse Co-Curriculum and and Super-Curriculum programmes This alongside our distinct feeling of ‘home away from home’ within our our boarding houses is how our our pupils develop their own cultural and emotional intelligence preparing them for life beyond Malvern College Tom Newman
