Welcome to The Hippo Question, a podcast by Country Navigator, all about CQ + I (Cultural Intelligence and Inclusion).

Hosted by Nikki Samant-Jones, CRO, and Matthew MacLachlan, Head of Learning Innovation at Country Navigator, The Hippo Question aims to bring you a fresh perspective on CQ + I, by asking our guests the important questions, to find out what makes them tick, and how culture has impacted their lives.

The Hippo in the title is a visual reference to how much business culture lurks beneath the surface, potentially ready to capsize you at a moment’s notice, as diversity, inclusion and leadership issues raise their heads. Nikki, Matthew and guests are going to look at their cultural hippo, and find out what we can learn from people that made a career out of leveraging culture and inclusion, with real world examples to keep things current and lived experiences to learn from.
