About PEAK Learning, Inc. - Dr. Jeff Thompson, Principal

For the past 10 years, Dr. Jeff Thompson has co-developed the Adversity Quotient® (AQ®) theory, products, programs, and methodology currently in use by industry leading companies worldwide. He is co-director of the Global Resilience Project, a research consortium in thirteen countries dedicated to the exploration, expansion, and advancement of the science of human endeavor.

Dr. Thompson is a sought after coach, consultant, speaker, and teacher by change-minded individuals and groups representing organizations from around the world—leading to substantial international acclaim. CNN, CNBC, Asia 21, The Wall Street Journal, Inc., Investor’s Business Daily, Executive Excellence and the Oprah Winfrey Show are just some of the media that have trumpeted the vital role AQ plays in equipping people and their organizations to thrive in turbulent times.

Dr. Thompson collaborates with client teams to create a new breed of transformational conferences and programs that are compelling, inspiring, learning-rich, and memorable. Some of his top clients regularly outsource their creative conference design and much of the delivery exclusively to him.

Dr. Thompson develops deep and enduring relationships with his clients, representing a broad range of industries both domestically and abroad, including (among others): Marriott International, ING, Irwin Union Bank, the Young Presidents' Organization, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Institute for Management Studies, Irving Oil Organization, Procter & Gamble, and CIBA Vision KK (Japan). As a presenter, he consistently receives top marks. His unique brand of refreshingly direct, humorous, interactive, content-rich, practical programs and presentations have resulted in more than 90 percent of Dr. Thompson’s customers becoming repeat clients.
