To answer questions 2 and 3, here are results from M1:
  In this review of my cultural intelligence, I managed an overall score of 78 out of 100. The evaluation considered factors such as the curiosity to understand other cultures, the implication of cultural values on perception, readiness to consider others’ input, the ability to control emotions, and empathy among many. After the evaluation, I noticed that my greatest strength was my curiosity to understand other peoples culture. Having travelled a lot with my family, I was intrigued by how the lives of different people contrasted with ours. With such curiosity, I will understand better what works well for consumers in a hotel and satisfy their needs effectively. Unfortunately, my greatest weakness has been bouncing back from embarrassing and uncomfortable situations when engaging people from different cultures. This weakness has to do with my empathy for other human beings, in cases where I offend someone, though unintentionally, the emotions have always haunted me for long. This effect is a weakness as I might lose consumers as a hotel manager if I fail to bounce back charmingly. Regardless, the revelation was an honest perception of my core competence in hospitality.
