It is a behavioral framework for closing the gap between intention and action — built on more than seventy combined years of practice in human resources and the management of organizational change. It is grounded in research that explains how decisions get made. You will be shown a way to look honestly at the hardwiring you have been running on, the autopilot patterns quietly steering your life, and the tools you can employ to redirect them.
The framework is built on four elements:
This is the “atmosphere” you live in. The forces shaping your identity and worldview… invisible until you go looking for them.
Values transformed into lived commitments. What matters to you becomes actions you commit to take on a regular basis.
The energy that moves you forward. Where your curiosity, skill, and meaning intersect.
The aspirational future self, made specific enough to act on.
You are in a transition — or you can feel one coming. The roles, habits, and identities that got you here are not going to take you where you are trying to go. You are ready to look at it on purpose.
There is a person in your life who has been almost ready to make a change for years now. This is the book you hand them.
The same intention-action gap that costs a person their alignment costs a company its strategy.
CQ can unite your team or organization towards a unified intention.
Margie and Rick spent more than seventy combined years inside organizations, in HR, management coaching, talent evaluations and the strategic management of change — watching the same pattern play out. People say what they value, and then do something else entirely. Not from bad intentions. From habits nobody ever asked them to examine. CQ Seek You is the book they wished had existed years ago, for themselves as much as for anyone they’ve coached since.
