Introduction
MEQ® is corporate Learning & Development that uses the principles of Mindfulness (M) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to develop Leadership, Productivity and Wellbeing skills.
Participants are taken on an introspective journey to understand their inherent qualities, develop their leadership potential and build strength and emotional resilience that can be applied from day one.
“At the time I took the course, I was leading protracted and tricky negotiations and mindfulness gave me the resilience and fortitude to approach them in a calmer and more relaxed way”
What do the Programmes Teach?
Our Programmes enable participants to find and/or develop the leader inside themselves, own their time keeping, master team dynamics, make meditation a part of their everyday lives and learn tools that can be used in any scenario to remain calm, focused, productive and emotionally stable.
Participants are coached with weekly direct contact modules and encouraged with interim updates via a Buddy Group. Right from the start the group framework and the sharing of personal intuitive experience allows learning and development to come from all sides.
“I have used the techniques and tools to help me both inside and outside of the work environment. Just taking time out to actually stop, breath, free your mind before moving ahead is so powerful!”
Ready-Made Programmes
Bring the next generation of learning & development to your teams by choosing from three ready-made programmes (Leadership, Productivity and Wellbeing) or design your own by using our bespoke system.

"I would recommend this training...
“I had a half day session with AJ Bicât at work with group of colleagues. He helped me to understand this skill could be gradually developed by using daily meditational practice by spending a very reasonable amount of time on it. I would recommend this training as you will be getting tailor-made suggestions/practices based on your daily routine which will make it easier for you to invest on your well-being and peace.”
— Silan Teymurtas, Business Development Manager, Cisco Systems
"...helped me become more focused and in control.
"AJ Bicât has an instantly calming influence. In the 2 hours we spent together I felt more relaxed and better prepared to approach my working day. With all the distractions that come. The practices he taught have helped me become more focused and in control. It’s amazing what can be achieved in such a short space of time."
— Marcus De Pfeiffer-Key, OgilvyOne Worldwide
"...especially interesting for those focused on authentic and values based leadership.
"I attended the mindfulness for leaders course. The content was valuable for my personal leadership, it was also aligned to driving engagement in teams and would be especially interesting for organisations and leaders that are focused on ‘authentic’ and values based leadership. AJ’s style is enjoyable, he clearly walks the talk."
— Kirit Kishan - Coach, Facilitator, Mindfulness Instructor, One of a Mind
