To bring your next project to life and reach a higher level in life and business, we are offering a safe space of support and accountability for you to thrive. You could keep up the lone wolf act. Sure. But being a lone wolf can also rob us of the unique perspectives, connection and accountability that often lead to being better than we ever thought possible. Being in a group of winners who are driven to achieve, can serve as a catalyst to fulfill our own greatness.

Change, growth and greatness take hard work. Those individuals who are willing to devote the time, energy and effort to realize real change, real growth and real greatness, are the individuals this program is designed for. Our full expectation is that by the end of this program, each participant will achieve their 3-month goal.

If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’re only going to get more of what you already have: more frustration, more isolation, lack of fulfillment, not showing up in your full power, and another project pushed back/not going according to plan — despite how hard you’ve pushed to make it work. 

We don’t want more struggle for you. We want to support you, we want to push you, and we want to help you tap into parts of your inner power you didn’t know existed, or haven’t been able to reach.

why emotional intelligence matters

Your emotions are an inseparable part of you. Even if you try to suppress them, they’re still there.

Your very body chemistry is hard-wired to release a cocktail of hormones and biological responses to the world around you, whether you show it or not. Studies have given us valuable data showing that mastering your emotions is key to achieving success in every area of your life:

• In one study of 80 PhD’s in science, social skills and EQ were 4 times more likely to determine success than IQ alone.

• Humans are inclined to behave and act in certain ways based on our emotions, and it shapes our perception of life, relationships, and business.

• All of our choices are based on emotions. Science has proven that when a person’s amygdala or ventromedial prefrontal cortex (the emotional engines of the brain) is triggered, they have an intensely difficult time making decisions that lead to desirable outcomes.

• Emotions play a crucial role in our health, relationships, and finances. EQ shapes every area of our lives.

• We learn emotional responses as children (positive or negative,) but we can always learn NEW strategies that help us reach our goals instead of hindering us.

Emotional intelligence isn’t set in stone. You can rewire your brain, and develop emotional intelligence — even if you didn’t have EQ modeled for you as a child.

A lot of us didn’t have great examples growing up… and I’m no exception. I realized at an early age that emotional disconnection is catastrophic.

I remember so clearly the first time my father really yelled at me. I was 14 years old, and my dad announced that my grandmother would be living with us. I had to speak up, I could feel it was a bad idea and would cause intense conflict in the family.   My normally stoic, collected dad really laid into me with “Alan, You’re being selfish!” and “Stop being such a baby!”

It wrecked me. He’d never gotten like that with me before and I started bawling.

When my sister saw how distraught I was and she said, , “Dad, You’ve got to hug him.”

What I craved more than anything at that age was emotional connection with my dad, and at that moment he’d never really hugged me before… He took me in his arms, but it wasn’t completely devoid of any emotions. It was like he didn’t know how to express his emotions and connect. His arms were stiff, I could tell he felt tremendously uncomfortable, and it was such an awkward exchange.

I realized that my dad didn't really have a language for his emotions, and because of that it crippled him. He was unable to show up in his full potential.

THIS WAS A HUGE PROBLEM! I knew I did not want to follow in his footsteps, so I was determined to carve a new path for myself.

Since then I experimented and tested different aspects of emotional intelligence.

It wasn’t easy. It took tons of effort and unlearning old patterns and going against the societal norms of what a man should be, but it has changed everything in my life and business. The skills I’ve developed with emotional intelligence have never failed to help me show up in my life and business as my best self, serve my clients better, and reach my goals. 

Only through Emotional Intelligence have I accomplished as much as I have in all these areas of my life.

The lone wolf mindset in business has been vastly over-glorified — especially for coaches, leaders, and solopreneurs.

Society has conditioned men from an early age to play the lone wolf. Leadership is modeled as something you do on your own, and when things need to be handled you put your emotions aside and handle it. You are surrounded by messages, some subtle, some not:

Be strong. Asking for help is a sign of weakness. Don’t wear your heart on your sleeve. Walk it off. Be a man. Suck it up. Stop complaining and get your ass to work. Don’t be so sensitive. BE the alpha male. Take charge. Put your head down and HUSTLE.

Just like my dad, these messages cripple you; not only emotionally, but it also cripples the growth you can experience in your business. It limits how you can serve your clients. And it stifles your progress.

We are taught to keep our heads down, push through, and only to rely on ourselves to get the results we want. And it is destroying us — mentally, emotionally, and financially. I know because I’ve been there! My clients have been there. And there is a better way.

The world needs men who are courageous enough to not go it alone. That’s why The EQ Advantage Program was created.

You have something important you need to get done, but can’t understand why nothing is turning out how you planned. The typical ‘man up’ strategies are not working. You’re struggling, even you aren’t comfortable admitting it. 

You aren’t alone. We see this every day, and it’s time you hear the truth.

You aren’t the problem, you simply lack the community, accountability, structure and the proper mindset to achieve your goal. This program will give you the support, EQ training, and community you need to have the impact and success you want.

I’ve taken this journey myself, and I helped countless clients take this journey. It’s time you stop trying to go it alone and get the support and tools you need.
