THE PROBLEM ISN'T YOU

Leading tough change shouldn’t feel like a battle for survival. But often it does. 

The problem is the outdated methods that have always been used to prepare and support leaders through challenges. 

But times have changed and so must we - and this is how:  
 
Our key to reducing your stress and increasing your leadership effectiveness is Adaptability. 

We specialize in the 'How to do?' not just the 'What to do?' 

We implement for you to deliver reliable, repeatable results. 

We never just take you through a process and hope that, somehow, 'magic' happens at the end. 

Let's turn tough change into smart progress!

A little more on AQai's AQ Model

AQ 'Ability' -                   what is it?

Think of AQ 'Ability' as your 5 major Adaptability muscles. Have you neglected some? Are you relying too much on       others and overworking them?   

AQ 'Character' -           what is it?

Think of your AQ 'Character' dimensions as the exercise stations in your gym. Which machines and movements do you prefer, to work and grow your Adaptability muscles? These dimensions are double-edged: not good or bad in themselves. But how we deploy our styles and preferences will have different impacts in different situations.

AQ 'Environment' - what is it?

Think of AQ 'Environment' dimensions as your gym. How much do you love your gym environment? Do you feel inspired and supported there? Are you thriving or just surviving? Time to find a new gym?
