Start with our quick 11 question assessment to understand how your behaviors impact your energy.
Billions are spent on corporate wellness programs and there are over 160,000 health and medical apps out there, of which 2/3rds are for nutrition, wellness, stress, and fitness. Yet, studies show that up to 50% of the workforce suffer from burnout, as high as 70% are disengaged in their work, 8/10 Americans are inflicted by stress, and depression levels are increasing more than ever before. There is clearly a gap.

"EMQ is a powerful tool for rapidly honing in on the few critical characteristics or behaviors blocking growth and development, professionally and personally. I found the analysis uncannily accurate and revealing, and benefited immediately from the very practical coaching to quickly make impactful positive changes.
At the end of my 30-day program I’m on the brink of an exciting professional change, I’m far better attuned to my own core values and needs, and I’m consistently monitoring and adjusting the areas which reduce my energy and impact.
I am truly amazed at the positive rate of change in my life as a result of going through this program!"

The Energy Management Quotient is a diagnostic tool that is designed to change your de-energizing behaviors and remap negative mind-sets for individuals and teams.
We believe that using our patent pending methodology to build a clear picture of a person’s mindset and behavioral blockers, combined with personalized guided programming and monitoring that fits their life, we can provide expedited and sustained positive impact, leading to more fulfilled, accountable, happy, productive, and resilient individuals, teams, and organizations.
Through extensive research, data analysis, our modeling process, and hundreds of validated research studies, we have identified the 75 attributes that are necessary for optimal positive energy management. These attributes fall into 12 factors which you can learn more about here.
Being aware of your energy, utilizing energizing behaviors, and maintaining a positive mindset, enables peak performance and engagement. In different moments we may be experiencing positive or negative emotions with varying levels of intensity. By managing how you respond and implementing MyEMQ strategies to navigate your energy state, you can optimize the flow of your energy to remain in a positive state of performance and continual renewal.
When you are feeling "off", or as if something is missing, EMQ rapidly identifies what that is and helps you work through it.

"I spent a couple of hours with my report and it is certainly empowering! My top 10 openings really made me think and I saw how certain things happening at the company as well as my own behaviors were impacting engagement and productivity for me and my employees.
The debrief made it make more sense. Within 30 days I was feeling happier, within a just a couple of months I felt like I was responding better. The culture and same old stuff was happening at work – but I had changed, it was not affecting me in the same negative way. "

Our brains' tendency to look for negatives was once vital for human sustainment, and still plays an important role. However, with the over stimulated environment we now live in, we need to manage the constant activation of our fight or flight mode, which stresses our nervous system, causing impact to our attention, focus, memory, and wellbeing.
We were recently invited to participate at the United State of Women Summit, partnering with equallet and Amazon who sponsored our prize draw. We were there to conduct some live data analytics to explore the various challenges, mindsets, and behavioral blockers that were most frequently being experienced by women. During our time there, we were lucky to be invited to a fireside chat by Amazon’s Glynis Moore, with some of their female leadership - Miriam Daniel and Meeta Mishra. Their stories definitely resonated with the audience and there were many great points made - so here are some that can serve as good reminders for anyone!
There is always so much to do. In life and at work, the demands and responsibilities seem to be never ending. For years in corporate it was so easy for me to get consumed by what “needed” to be done, those fires to put out, the 50th iteration of a deck, the meeting to plan for the planning meeting for another meeting....
Think about this situation... you created a presentation for a meeting. During the meeting some of the other people question you in what seems like an attacking way. After the meeting you think about, what could you have said? What should you have presented? Maybe you do not know the subject as much as you think you did? What should you have said to them in the moment? You go home, and along your drive you are still thinking about it. You try and forget it so that you can watch a show with loved ones, or eat dinner with your family, but you are still thinking about it. You go to bed, but you are still thinking about it. This, is rumination. Rumination is any situation where you replay an event repeatedly in your mind, mulling it over and over.
We have been working with many organizations and individuals on growing their behaviors and mindset to enable them to better take lead of their lives. As such, we have been privy to many conversations about the challenges faced by leaders, managers, and individual employees alike when it comes to development that helps drive the business and personal outcomes that matter to people. While there are several reasons that we came across, we wanted to share the top 3 most commonly found to be hindering the value that development efforts delivered.
Recently I was honored to be a part of a panel during the inspirational Allison Kluger’s workshop on Executive Presence for Women at Stanford - where she covers topics such as how people carry themselves, present themselves, communicate with others, and project competence and calm. I was joined by some incredibly talented women, who had many nuggets of wisdom to share - Yolanda Mangolini (Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Google), Kathrina Miranda (CEO at MiMA), and, Nadine Terman (CEO, Solstein Capital). There were so many great points made, here are just a few that I took away!
The word mindful--or mindfulness --has exploded in recent years, for many reasons and most importantly for many benefits - even though the concepts and practice has been around for ages. That seems to be the trend with many industry crazes, a concept that has been around for some time, which when applied in the right way can be incredibly valuable, arises, gains popularity, and spreads like wildfire. Opportunities like this often arise in the world marketplace, and before you know it, the core message of what made that thing beneficial in the first place soon becomes lost in all the noise. As with many "buzzwords" before it, such as customer experience, mindfulness has also morphed into all sorts of implementations beyond its initial intention, which of course has brought around some potential pitfalls, if, mindfulness is not done 'mindfully'.
We often joke in the office that the word “busy” would appear to need a new definition as it seems to have become the standard response to the question: “How are you?”
Think about it, when you are asked ‘how you are,’ or you ask someone ‘how’s it going?’ What are the most common responses? We asked around and got a plethora of “things are just so busy at the moment,” “I’m good, you know the usual, busy,” “Same old here,” for which they all simply meant tired.
Changing behaviors is no easy feat. It takes a lot of effort, time, and patience. While we work on driving behavioral changes in individuals and teams on a daily basis, I personally have experienced three things that have helped me when I myself am working on engaging new behaviors and making them stick...
Life seems to be becoming increasingly overwhelming and stressful. It is clear that if we do not start working on behaviors and strategies to cope with these challenges, the levels of disengagement, depression, and stress will continue to reach new highs. In fact, a national survey of 614 HR leaders, including CHRO’s, VP’s, Directors and Managers, found that 95% of participants admit that employee burnout is sabotaging workforce retention. It is no wonder that Gallup found that 51% of the U.S workforce is not engaged, the impact of which is not only on individual wellbeing, but including massive losses in productivity costing between $450 and $500 billion a year according to Mental Health America...
