## Resource

In this solo episode, Trisha explores whether the same cultural intelligence capabilities that help us work across cultures might also be tools for building peace. Drawing from insights at the International Positive Psychology Association World Congress, Trisha examines Peter Singer's concept of expanding our "moral circle" and Barbara Fredrickson's research on positive emotions, sparked by reflections from David Livermore and Martin Seligman. Discover how CQ Strategy, Knowledge, Drive, and Action might offer pathways beyond tribalism, and learn practical approaches for designing learning experiences that broaden perspectives rather than reinforce divisions. Resources mentioned include Peter Singer's work on expanding moral circles ( petersinger.info ), David Livermore's cultural intelligence research ( davidlivermore.com ), and Martin Seligman's positive psychology foundations ( positivepsychology.com ). Make sure you join Trisha in this journey of growth and discovery throughout the year via Substack or  LinkedIn.
