We’ve helped amazing organizations grow in cultural understanding and agility. Here’s what some of them have said about us.
Ming-Jinn is a reflective practitioner who uniquely combines cultural intelligence, emotional intelligence, and Biblically-based wisdom. He listens attentively and offers insightful, wise guidance. I highly recommend Ming-Jinn to anyone seeking to foster unity in diversity, whether on a personal level, within an organization, or in ministry.

CAPI has had the pleasure of engaging with Cultivate through a variety of avenues – strategic planning, DEI training, and board retreat facilitation, to name a few. As an established community-based nonprofit organization that is multicultural and represents a diversity of thought and experience, Ming-Jinn at Cultivate has been our go-to partner for his cultural expertise, gifted facilitation, and powerful communication skills.

Ming-Jinn Tong gets it. He understands what it’s like to work in a fast-paced environment, but still takes the time to care about each individual in the room. He knows what it takes to create and sustain a strong, healthy culture that helps everyone become their personal best.

There are few people who possess more cultural intelligence (CQ) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) than Ming-Jinn. His heart for all people and passion for celebrating everyone’s divine distinctive gifts, combined with his lived out servant-hearted leadership, allows him the unique ability to guide, coach, and mentor with compassion and meaningful, lasting impact.

Cultivate combines an invitation to learning, contemplative questions, and contextual tools. The learning environments they lead promote high engagement and collective growth. When it comes to intercultural training, this, by far, has produced the most connection and understanding for our organization. Our staff team sees our work through a new lens!

Ming-Jinn is a compassionate and capable leader. He understands people in ways that many are unable or unwilling to grasp. His deep cultural comprehension is apparent in the thoughtfulness of his words, both written and spoken. More importantly, that understanding is given legs through his tireless commitment to serve those around him. His experience “on the ground” has earned him a wealth of astute observations and practical wisdom. I’ve welcomed his balanced insights personally and professionally, and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking to better understand the people in and orbiting their organization.
