Introducing The XQ Factor™
What is the the XQ Factor?
We're doing it all wrong.
We were told to "lean in" and "hustle" for success, yet instead we are left empty, exhausted and burnt out. The strategies that we were taught aren't working.
The XQ Factor™ is a strategy that allows you to re-define true success across every aspect of your life:
personally, professionally, and purposefully.
It is your foundation to lead, relate, communicate, adapt, solve, reflect, grow...and ultimately thrive.
It goes beyond IQ, and even EQ. It is the leadership skills and the life skills that comprise that elusive x-factor for success.
