EDU - SQ21 - Spritual Intelligence Assessment w/ Debrief

The heart of leadership lies in the hearts of leaders. Leaders lead by 'being' not by 'doing'. A leader is a leader of people not of statistics or strategy. Leaders are in charge of people's hearts and spirits. So it becomes critical that they are in charge of their OWN hearts and spirits - they need to be operating from their highest Self.

Expertly-created, carefully validated - this self-assessment allows you to examine where you are today on developing and sustaining the 21 skills of Spiritual Intelligence, which is NOT A RELIGIOUS PROGRAM but a program to know our Core Self and what motivates us.

Pathways to the Higher Self

Transcending our lower nature and growing into our full potential as human beings is the most important and fulfilling thing any of us can do with our lives. Yet although we might be drawn towards our own higher potential we quickly see that not only are there a variety of names for this journey - self-actualization, spiritual awakening, personal transformation - but there seem to be a variety of paths we can follow - some linked to a religious tradition and some not. How to find our way through this maze? How do we become spiritually intelligent? Is this something else that busy leaders have to 'fit in'? First, let's be clear what we mean by 'spiritual intelligence'.

What is Spiritual Intelligence?

Spiritual Intelligence can be defined as "The ability to act with Wisdom and Compassion while maintaining inner and outer peace (equanimity), regardless of the circumstances." Spiritual Intelligence exists as potential in each of us - but like any intelligence it must be developed, and developed intelligences can be demonstrated as skills or competencies.

About the Spiritual Intelligence Assessment Tool - SQ21

Cindy Wigglesworth of DeepChange has created a model which we can use to track our progress in our journey to spiritual intelligence. She calls it the Spiritual Intelligence Assessment Tool. The assessment tool measures twenty-one skills that combine to create the ability to be wise and compassionate in our behaviors, while maintaining inner and outer peace - even under great stress. The skills are divided into 4 areas - Awareness of Higher Self; Awareness of Universal Principles; Self Mastery and Social Mastery (Spiritual Presence). How does it work? People complete an online assessment which takes about 30 minutes and as a result they will receive a 20 page report. Then they have a scheduled 90 minute call with a SQ21 facilitator to debrief and discuss the report and to plan next steps. There is no right or wrong place to start from, no prescribed path and no set dogma to follow. The tool is both faith neutral and faith friendly.
