Who We Are
In 1986 we began to gather with a group of professionals with vastly different career paths from cultures around the world to study the most effective psychological, emotional, cognitive and behavioral models known to humans and to assimilate them with scientific principles and physics concepts that had previously been viewed separately.

The objective was to evaluate organizational and team dynamics through this new wholistic perspective with the goal of uncovering the common attributes of successful groups. The questions we asked ourselves and each other were designed to make us look beyond the traditional models of evaluating success solely by production capacity and bottom line to the human side of business and to discover what motivated people to excel and be successful even when the odds were stacked against them.

We asked, what made one group of people function better than others? What was the glue that held people together in times of conflict and change? What were the core principles that guided the most successful leaders and teams. What was it that people needed to truly feel engaged and satisfied with the the work they did every day? What we discovered was simultaneously being proven by leading researchers around the planet – that, our perception of the world, all of our actions and our decision making processes are filtered through an "emotional" clearing centre in our brain. The way we feel about ourselves, others, and our workplaces, are the primary driving forces behind our behaviours and the results we get. Our beliefs about who we are, how we fit in, and what value we offer to the team or group of which we are a member are also a part of this emotional framework.

Through research and the experiences of our clients we knew the process and methodology of creating emotionally intelligent workplaces was very doable for every organization. We then tackled the question of why organizations in general were not proactively focussed on positively influencing the impact that EQ had on their success. The discovery we made was enlightening – many people understood the theory behind EQ, but there simply wasn’t a model for practical application to show business how to create an EQ SMART™ workplace. It was then that we knew we had something truly valuable to offer.

At the EQ ADVANTAGE^®, we partner with organizations who want to stay ahead of the game by leveraging the power of EQ. Over the past 15 years, we have worked with hundreds of organizations in the financial, real estate, health care, marketing, retail, and service sectors to develop EQ SMART™ teams and organizations. We are known for our reputation of providing practical, affordable, accelerated training and consulting solutions to common organizational challenges in the areas of customer service, change management, internal marketing and communications, sales and presentation skills, management development, employee productivity and creating vision and value-based organizations.

The bottom line? We get you meaningful, measurable results that make you happy!
