Discover your executive CQ

If you're a current or aspiring director, VP, or CxO, in today's remote and hybrid professional environment, you need to be cutting-edge or risk failure. Legacy leadership courses, books, and advice are obsolete. So are traditional personality profiling and career assessments. Myers-Briggs and DiSC are 80 years old. The BIG-5 assesses for neuroticism, and StrengthsFinder is no longer relevant in a world dominated by LinkedIn, Zoom, and Google. CQ is based on more recent leadership and brain science discoveries, proven across thousands of executives at firms such Cisco, HP, Oracle, SAP, and Visa. What's your true professional passion and purpose? Find out with Executive CQ. What's your Brain DNA and best job and career choices? When job searching, how can you ensure you're stepping into the optimal culture fit and working for the right boss? How can you better "manage up" to get noticed, receive more accolades, and accelerate your career? How can you collaborate more effectively with colleagues on Zoom or Team calls? Executive CQ is the only science-based way to gain all these answers and more. CLICK to Quiz today.

Example CQ

For your Personality Profile, your Norepinephrine (N) level is naturally ???, and to not disintegrate, you’ll need to ??? Exercise will increase your brain's production of galinin, which is a peptide neurotransmitter that regulates norepinephrine production. Certain foods are natural precursors for N. Tryptophan is one, which can be found in dairy products, eggs, fish, and red meat, as well as cheese, soybeans, nuts, and whole grains. While these are all healthy and recommended for all diets, you may want to eat these in moderation as they may increase your N level too high. Stress will increase N levels, and when your stress levels are too high, consider taking GABA supplements to maintain a healthy balance.

Foods that naturally increase GABA include including whole grains, fava, soy, lentils, other beans, walnuts, almonds and sunflower seeds. Also, fish, citrus, tomatoes, berries, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, and cocoa. As an extrovert, your dopamine (D) level should not be ??? and your acetylcholine (A) level should not be ??? The Dopamine neurotransmitter requires foundational building blocks, such as amino acid precursors. Your D level helps maintain desire, attention, awareness, movement, and hormone levels. Your D level also helps stimulate metabolism, control movement, improve circulation, and regulate information flow in the brain. Low D levels can lead to attention deficit disorder (ADD), Parkinson’s disease, and even schizophrenia. The University of Texas Addiction Science Research and Education Center tells us that D is responsible for controlling our ability to experience pleasure or pain and helps control physical movements. Taking drugs like cocaine and ecstasy will flood your brain with D and stimulate temporary pleasure but have obvious negative side effects. Drinking too much caffeine may give you a short burst of energy, but will lower your D levels, so drink in moderation. You can’t just pop D pills as your stomach will dissolve these and not send them intact to your bloodstream. You can, however, take amino acid supplements for some deficiencies including L-Tyrosine and L-Dopa. L-tyrosine is a D precursor and can be found in turkey, chicken, dairy products, fish, avocados, almonds, bananas, soy, legumes, cottage cheese, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds...
