AQ Solutions: Full-Day Programs

“Thriving on the Edge” (Full-Day). Your leaders and workforce, at all levels, deal with unprecedented and mounting struggles, uncertainty, complexity, and change. Although they may survive, most do not thrive. The stress is palpable. People are increasingly unable to keep up with the growing demands. In turn, the increased demands take a significant toll on their performance, health, spirit, and contribution. Even top performers struggle to get it all done and do it well.

The AQ Vision

Your people are equipped with the most robust tools in existence to take on new demands with resilience, vigor and optimism. Their capacity to take on more — more effectively — is expanded. Their quality of work and life are measurably improved. Your leaders coach their people using the Adversity Quotient® (AQ®) principles and tools to approach each setback, challenge, and opportunity with exceptional clarity and fortitude. You now handle challenges faster and more effectively than your competitors, creating a real competitive advantage. You have created a resilient culture — a workplace that thrives on the edge.

Program Description

The highly interactive, engaging, 1-day “Thriving on the Edge™” session consists of four modules:

Discovery. A practical overview of the science of AQ and its implications for the challenges, opportunities, and aspirations not only of your organization as a whole, but also of each participant.

Measurement. Measuring and interpreting AQ and CORE Profile with the complete AQ Profile; discussion and overview of the CORE dimensions of AQ via kinesthetic learning.

Improvement. Practicing new skills for responding optimally to adversity the moment it strikes. These skills and tools measurably improve and rewire one’s AQ. Participants fully implement the L-E-A-D process for sustainable resilience.

Integration. Linking AQ philosophy and skills to personal and professional challenges and aspirations, as well as current business imperatives.

Making it Stick—Reinforcing the Tools

Since even the best training can die without reinforcement, the AQ program combines the best of interactive classroom engagement with the most proven e-learning. For the 90 days following the day session, participants engage in a virtual ascent, or mountain climb, called the AQ SkillSites. This tool delivers weekly interactive challenges online (with friendly reminders) and prompts participants to recall, reinforce, and apply what they learned in the first day. The climb culminates at the summit, where participants measure their AQs for a second time and receive immediate feedback about their gains, profile, and remaining opportunities for growth. The SkillSites make AQ more than a seminar — it becomes a way of life.
