EQPLUS® Certification

The diagnostic difference.

The EQPlus® Diagnostic: Clarity over discovery. Most advisory relationships begin with months of discovery. My work begins with a diagnostic.

The EQPlus® Motivation Profile maps the specific pattern every decision you've made and every result you've produced. Most leaders find the debrief one of the most clarifying conversations of their career.

The Overcoming–Leveraging Spectrum

The motivational pattern beneath your decisions.

The EQPlus® Motivation Profile measures the motivational pattern beneath your decisions, specifically where you are operating on the Overcoming–Leveraging spectrum.

01

Identifies the constraint precisely

Identifies what is leadership and where that constraint actually lives.

02

Eliminates the slow ramp

No lengthy discovery process. The constraint is identified within the first two sessions.

03

Makes progress measurable

Progress is tracked against a diagnostic baseline. Shifts are visible and tied to execution outcomes.
