Life Success

EQ = Emotional Quotient
AQ =
ADVERSITY QUOTIENT
Adversity Quotient (AQ)
My thoughts are guided by, Dr. Paul G. Stoltz,
The founder of AQ
What is adversity?
When things do not go the way you
want them to.
Answer out loud: Are things becoming
Predictable or uncertain?
Organized or chaotic?
Faster or slower?
Easier or tougher?
Simpler or more complex?
More or less demanding?
WHAT IS
EMPOWERMENT?
Its about being
Willing
Able
and
Allowed
What is AQ
 AQ is about how you respond to life, esp. the
tough stuff
 A gauge or measure of how you respond &
deal with everything, from everyday hassles to the
big adversities that life can spring on you
 An established science, theory, and approach
for becoming measurably more resilient.
 The more resilient you are, the more effectively &
constructively you respond to.
Success Begins With Resiliency
What is resiliency?
RESILIENCY
1. The power or ability to return to the
original form or position after being bent,
stretched, compressed, or stretched;
elasticity.
2. The ability to recover readily from
adversity, illness, or the like.
QUITTERS
CAMPERS
CLIMBERS
Core Human Drive:
TO ASCEND
WHY MAY I
NOT BE WILLING TO CLIMB?
 Blame circumstances
for their lot in life
 Ignore their full potential
 Are bitter and
disappointed
 Do just enough to get by
 Take few risks
 Are resentful of those
who ascend
QUITTERS
Only achieve partial success
They live compromised lives
They fall short of their true ability
They dedicate energy and resources to
maintain the status quo
CAMPERS
CLIMBERS
Have a strong
faith in
something
bigger than
themselves
Regardless of
background,
advantages,
good fortune,
misfortune.
They continue
to climb
SOMETIMES..
They grow weary
They have doubts
They feel lonely and
bruised
They question their
struggle
They recognise
that even
small steps
pay dividends
ONLY CLIMBERS
LIVE LIFE
TO THE FULL!!
Direct link between
how one responds to
adversity & mental
& physical health
Brain is ideally
equipped to form
habits
- Habits can be
instantly
interrupted &
changed
We respond to
adversity in
subconscious,
consistent
patterns
- If unchecked, these
patterns remain
stable over ones entire
life

OWNERSHIP
REACH
ENDURANCE
The CORE of AQ
THE TOOLS CORE
Questions CONTROL: The extent to which someone
perceives they can influence whatever
happens next
 OWNERSHIP: The likelihood that someone
will actually do anything to improve the
situation, regardless of their formal
responsibilities?
THE TOOLS CORE
Questions REACH: The extent to which someone
perceives an adversity will reach into and
affect other aspects of the situation or
beyond.
 ENDURANCE: The length of time the
individual perceives the situation / adversity
will last, or endure.

What are you going to do
differently, from today  to start
being a climber?
Thank you to Dr. Stoltz who taught me the
meaning of how to climb and who let me use
some of his
wonderful notes in his books.
Thanks also goes to those people in the
photos .Some of the other photographs I have
used I found through Google Images and I
hope that the owners will see how beautifully
they illustrate my points. They have not been
used in any way for commercial gain.
