AQ Leader Certification Announced

Recently, we made a big announcement about the AQ Leader Certification Program launching in September.

What is an AQ Leader?

Funny you should ask . . .

AQ Leader Vision

To make AQ a household word by inspiring and training Certified AQ Leaders who distinguish themselves in the marketplace by their AQ expertise, passion, and approach. The AQ Leader Certification will be a standard of excellence and achievement in the marketplace. The platform for this vision is the creation of a robust, multi-tiered learning community at www.AQInstitute.com by the fall of 2007.

Intention

The Certification launches in September 2007 with a 5 day in-person training that provides complete immersion into an AQ Leader’s:

• Traits
• Competencies
• Frameworks
• Tools

Once completed, you will select your AQ Mentor Coach and receive your client assignments for the 5 months of the Practicum component. The emphasis in this certification is on real world application and experience. In keeping with that goal, you will also participate in monthly “AQ Acceleration calls” with all the certification members, led by Kim. These calls will share best practices, next level learning, and provide problem solving opportunities. Upon completion of the Practicum, there will be a testing component to evaluate performance standards.

Certification Deliverables

• Opportunity to market and brand yourself as a Certified AQ Leader
• License to utilize the AQ system with individuals to facilitate results
• Opportunity to lead AQ group coaching for individuals through The AQ Institute
• Visibility and credibility through promotion at AQInstitute.com
• Opportunity to collaborate with The AQ Institute to develop specialized AQ programs for new markets and business sectors

Introducing Sarah Dolliver

I am thrilled to introduce Sarah Dolliver as our newest AQ Pioneer!

Sarah has been doing a fabulous job as AQ Senior Study Group Guide. If you are interested in being an AQ study group guide or participating in a study group, you can contact Sarah here. Check out our Upcoming Events for the latest Study Group information.

I asked Sarah to introduce herself in her own words:

I’m Sarah Dolliver and I serve the AQ Institute as Senior Study Group Guide. In that capacity, I head up the team of volunteer AQ Study Group Guides and help them create abundant, thriving AQ Study Groups that weave abundance with their personal passions and interests.

I have known Kim since 2003, when we worked on the same team at CoachVille where I ran their international Study Group effort for 18 months under Kim. After drifting in our own directions, our mutual friend, Elizabeth Tull, was the conduit that kept each of us in touch with what the other was doing. Even though I missed the R&D phase of AQ, I regularly heard of it through Elizabeth.

When Kim announced that she was starting Study Groups, I stepped up again to work along side of her again. At that time, I had just read the book and was touched by it on many levels: personally as well as seeing its impact through the lives of those I work with.

My work involves running an online community called InnerVantage [www.InnerVantage.com]. I am passionate about serving inner-directed individuals (which I define as those who focus inward to restore and that you might already know as introverted or highly sensitive) to see their own innate magnificence, living from their Natural EdgeSM without embellishment or camouflage.

This work allows me to elicit inner peace and wholeness in compassionate and courageous ways. In that way, my work is about helping them move from scarcity into their own abundant spirit. My style is warm, empathic and intuitive, yet strongly grounded in practical, identifiable outcomes.

I come from over 23 years in the financial services industry in New England. I’ve been self-employed since 1992, owning my own consulting business before transitioning into the personal development field in 2001.

I am a graduate of Bentley College (in Waltham, MA) with a BS in Management. I have continued my professional development by graduating from Coach U and CoachVille’s Graduate School of Coaching. And I’m looking forward to pursuing AQ Leader Certification in the first round!

After lifelong residence in the Northeastern US, with my husband of 34 years, Jim, and our cat, Kashmir, we successfully relocated to Sedona, AZ, in late 2004. I love being in this more natural environment, close to the healing and creative powers of the Universal Spirit expressed through nature.

I enjoy walking, hiking throughout Sedona, yoga and meditation. I also enjoy playing backgammon, a wide variety of music, cats of all sizes and healthful cooking. And I always seem to have my nose in more than one book at a time, somehow keeping everything straight!

Thank you, Sarah, for being such an important part of the AQ team!
