Who is XQ?
We provide companies with a variety of ways to understand human factors and put them into practice. XQ is a combination of IQ (intelligence quotient), EQ (emotional quotient), and personality traits. When you triangulate these 3 things together, you can create amazing synergy at work. It’s all about understanding the human mind, and making sure strategies have your people in mind.
The Factors that enable superior decision making:
We work with and train your organization’s most valuable assets, its people and teams, on cognition, acumen, behavior and competencies to enhance their levels of emotional intelligence (emotional quotient). Through our people-focused assessments, strategic planning, one-on-one coaching and leadership training we will identify your employees’ strengths and areas for improvement. The XQ system combines all of those factors together, and leads your people to achieve superior performance and decision making.
XQ Executive Team
PRESIDENT & CEO
Joe Keshmiri
Joe was a high-level executive for a Fortune 500 company right at the moment when the corporate world began to change. Right around the inception of the internet and the digital revolution, he noticed that more and more corporate resources went towards hardware and software technology, and away from the people. People began to feel dehumanized, and it all became about 0’s and 1’s. In fact, he noticed that people were being treated more like machines.
