NQ®: the next leap beyond IQ and EQ
In the 21st century, success depends not only on what you know (IQ) or how you relate (EQ), but on how you negotiate. Negotiation Intelligence (NQ®) is the next essential stride.
We negotiate more than ever. In fact, any time you need someone else to reach your goals, you are negotiating. Most professionals spend over 75% of their time in negotiation—formally or informally. That makes negotiating more than a skill; it’s a way of leading, collaborating, parenting, selling… a way of life.
And because we do it so often, we negotiate by habit.
NQ® offers a science-based, future-proof roadmap designed to transform those habits—so you can lead every negotiation with clarity, confidence, and impact.
Towards breakthrough habits
In negotiation, your reflexes often speak louder than your intentions. These reflexes can either propel or hinder your progress. Negotiation Intelligence (NQ®) transforms your impact by:
-
Creating deep self-awareness and pinpointing your leverage for growth with triple-loop learning.
- Recognizing the moments of choice that define every negotiation.
-
Offering a proven method, practical toolkit, and systemic roadmap.
-
Helping you build new reflexes—going from unaware and unable, to skilled and effective.
-
Elevating negotiation from an individual activity to a strategic organizational capability.
A new playbook
We live in a post-knowledge economy defined by interdependence, partnerships, complexity, and constant change. The old rules of negotiation—win-lose, trade-offs, even win-win—fall short.
The NQ® model is built on 4 hands-on yet transformational keys to unlock negotiation mastery. They empower you to:
- Build understanding and insight, connecting the dots between goals and relationships.
- Shape opportunities and create value, not just solve problems.
- Aim higher and dare to think beyond boundaries.
- Act strategically and shape the game with purpose, at and away from the negotiation table.
Transforming you
True negotiation mastery requires more than knowing what to say. It requires knowing how to think. NQ® works across three interconnected dimensions:
- Knowledge– What you know.
- Skills– What you can do.
- Mindset– How you view, decide, and act.
Using triple-loop learning, NQ® engages all three levels to reshape your habits—translating insight into action, and strategy into sustainable behavioral change.
