More than 100 years ago, the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) became the standard to predict success. Fifty years later, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) became a complement to IQ. Now, Experiential Intelligence (XQ) expands our understanding about what's needed to thrive in today's disruptive world.
You can't change what's happened to you or how you've responded to it, but within your unique stories are hidden strengths waiting for you to discover. Do just that by uncovering your Experiential Intelligence (XQ)-the mindsets and abilities gained from your personal and professional life experiences.
In Experiential Intelligence, award-winning author, former corporate executive, Silicon Valley start-up founder, and popular speaker Soren Kaplan reveals how our past experiences impact our present success and future opportunities in ways we often don't recognize.
Your XQ isn't merely what you've learned from your experiences. Just like memorizing facts doesn't give you a high IQ, your list of accomplishments isn't "intelligence." We're shaped by our experiences and use the assets that we've obtained over time-consciously and subconsciously-to navigate the world. We gain "street smarts" no matter where our street is located, so we can operate as effectively as possible. Sometimes the smarts we develop help us, and sometimes they outsmart us because, while they were once useful, they end up undermining our success.
