Advantages for a corporation
If you are responsible for harnessing the best from your organization, we understand your needs.
The 21st century workforce is changing rapidly. As the labor pool becomes more diverse and the global “war for talent” grows ever more competitive, it is especially necessary to meet the demand for well -trained employees with the right skill sets and competencies. Recruiting and retaining the right talent for companies to compete successfully is essential. Businesses have confirmed they are facing a never-before experienced leadership gap.
Corporate cultures are shifting as the Baby Boomer generation retires and the Gen X and Y generations are left to meet the challenges of the new global economy. Models for training and development, mentoring, and education must change to meet the needs of the new workforce and the leaders for the 21st Century and beyond. EQmentor is poised to meet this demand by delivering value and quantitative results.
Companies must accept that they must reach outside their four walls to meet their own needs as well as that of their employees.
For working professionals, the demand for quality mentoring in an emotionally safe and retribution-free environment is priceless because it mostly does not exist … until now at EQmentor. Our online asynchronous model allows for mentoring at the point of need for the working professional.
For a company, exposing their employees to outside intellectual capital in a collaborative but anonymous manner is also priceless because it too does not exist … until now at EQmentor. The EQ Village brings together cross-industry collaboration to take needs and ideas at any stage (womb to tomb) and mature them into tangible solutions that can be taken back to the company for implementation.
“What an exciting, innovative concept…EQmentor provides a real-time opportunity to pull all the self-help, business savvy books that have been written over the years and turn that information into knowledge. Whether through the EQ Village or its mentors…it is live, easy to use, point in time advice when you need it. I love it and can’t imagine not having it…”

Advantages for a mentee
"One of the great things about EQmentor is the safe haven to communicate concerns, connect emotionally, and release frustrations; not with a stranger on an airplane, but with a trusted mentor. It is like Yoga for the Mind." Mentee
Working adults in general have four primary developmental areas: Physical, Intellectual, Spiritual, and Emotional. We have gyms, libraries, schools, books and places of worship, but where is “Life’s Gym” where an adult can safely explore experiences to harness knowledge and wisdom to make better daily decisions? EQmentor is the place for 24x7 emotional and intellectual exercising allowing the working professional to learn at the point-of-need.
Consider mentoring as a wellness program much like your neighborhood gym. By “working out” at the EQmentor “gym” with a mentor and within the EQVillage, a mentee should have the following expectations and results.
