How will you show a winning mindset and continuously raise the bar?
Q CHALLENGE JOURNEY
What is the biggest challenge for CEOs, management teams, and business leaders?
Every day the bar of expected results is raised for leaders. You must succeed with fewer resources and still handle an increased complexity of more and diverse demands from glorecal stakeholders.
How do you constantly leverage innovation, whilst empowering and aligning your organization to be ahead of these dynamic changes?
Q Challenge Journey focuses on strengthening the culture of your organization and your leadership style to go above the bar.
How will you explore raising the bar?
CLIENTS
Who is already driven to be continuously challenged to reach above the rising bar?
Renowned and prestigious companies, their highest leaders and game changers understand the impact of corporate culture and strong leadership on their organizations. They are using Q Challenge Journey’s expertise and skills in maximizing people’s performance to maintain and exceed their top positions in their markets.
CEOs and top leaders have been working with Q Challenge Journey in ongoing relationships seeing first-hand the results our holistic change programs brought to their companies. As leaders within are promoted, they continue the journey of the ever-increasing challenges with Q Challenge Journey.
How can we instill this deepest level of trust in you as well?
STRATEGY FOR LEADERSHIP & CULTURE
What will make your organizational culture or style of leaders unique in the eyes of your stakeholders?
Which leadership competencies lived by your leaders and which values shared by the entire organization will be an inspiration to your external and internal stakeholders?
Less differentiation in products and technologies is a result of the competition that catches up on your pioneer position quickly. The way your leaders lead, interact and communicate with stakeholders will make the difference to your business success.
How will you create a set of values and competencies that will be meaningful for your stakeholders and business?
ASSESSMENT OF LEADERSHIP & CULTURE
How will you securely navigate your leadership development or the culture development of your organization?
Today it is all about measuring results and progress.
This is why Q Challenge Journey developed a tool that measures behavior and its impact on the business results.
Our QSCAN tool measures your leadership performance and the strength of your culture, and visualizes the outcome as a cockpit point of view.
You need to know how much power (SWOT) your organizations or leaders have, how much energy to build on for the future (potential) and in which environment to navigate best (vertical analysis by continent, country, division, department and stakeholder group or horizontal) as well as what progress has been made (longitudinal analysis) and how to benchmark against objectives and the past performance.
How high is your bar today and how high would you like to raise it?
COACHING & SPARRING
EQ eats IQ for breakfast !
Coaching & Sparring is where change of mindset and behavior begins and manifests itself.
We believe that the way we think, behave and communicate cannot be taught through books; it must be approached in the context of real situations. In most of today’s complex situations, emotional intelligence is the answer, not knowledge.
In workshops of teams or cross-functional groups or in one-to-one sessions, our coaches – here called Challengers – enter into the ring with top leaders who seek a sparring partner or a sounding board to gain absolute mastery in Emotional Intelligence.
When will you be ready to be challenged?
VISIONARY & EMOTIONAL SELLING
What can you do to excite your clients?
From Features & Benefit Selling in the 90’s, to Value-Added Selling in the Millennium, we have transitioned to Visionary & Emotional Selling since 2010. In a tailored approach, your sales force will address how to understand and create needs and how to lead clients and stakeholders. Here we dive deep into blue water to anticipate the needs of the future and to set the trends with dynamic innovation.
What qualities will your sales force need to influence positively and to inspire your clients?
Q COACHING CAMP
How will you sustainably internalize and externalize new ways of thinking, behaving and communicating?
The biggest challenge to internalizing and maintaining a new mindset, behavior and communication style is making it authentic, consistent and regenerative to be experienced again in more complex situations.
Following Coaching & Sparring, leaders can respond to interactive situational scenarios specifically designed to enhance Q Challenge Journey approaches and the way they support your organization’s visions, values and competencies. Our QCC coaches will provide prompt personalized feedback, allowing leaders to continue working toward greater degrees of internalization and achievement.
How will you obtain a black belt in living the values of your organization?
GAMES & SIMULATIONS
How will you be part of a virtual team game to make the impossible possible?
Mindset and behavior change is fun!
Q Challenge Journey sets the trend of virtual leadership and cooperation games. Following Coaching & Sparring, leaders around the world can log-in, apply what has been learned and compete or cooperate to make the impossible possible in leadership specific games designed to enhance virtual cooperation.
How will you (re-)discover your joy to play?
SERVICES

CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT
CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT
Q Challenge Journey’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
Q Mindset approaches and tools addressing specific leadership situations have their origin in sound scientific psychological theories and shared values applied to the real business world.
No fluff!
Three aspects are incorporated into the coaching style of our challengers and coaches:
1- Challenge vs. teach or train
When coaching, we do not offer solutions. If we did, how could we challenge you to raise the bar?
2- Future-oriented style vs. past-oriented style
"How will you approach this challenge?" Not, “Why do you have this certain style?"
3- Championship Philosophy
What are your strengths, and how can we enhance them to become unique qualities?
How will you challenge us?
Q Challenge Journey’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is our commitment to highest possible ethical behaviour in the interaction with all of our stakeholders and it puts our values into practice. We are committed to doing business the right way, based on a culture of ethics and compliance.
We set our bar that high for obvious reasons. We are a coaching firm that enhances our clients’ organizational cultures and how shared values such as respect, trust and integrity are lived by their employees. Hence, each of our employees needs to be a role model when it comes to living the very same values when doing our work, bearing in mind that we have a personal responsibility to live up to the principles of our Code and to encourage others to incorporate them into their work.
Integrity inspires our work and strengthens our reputation as a firm that aims to create admirable results and always seeks to do what is right.

Q Challenge Journey is committed to a work environment that promotes equal opportunity in its hiring practices, making recruitment decisions based solely on job-related criteria such as qualifications, abilities and potential needed for the work to be performed. We do not use forced labour, e.g., compulsory or trafficked labour, indentured labour, bonded labour or other such forms. Human trafficking or child labour are prohibited. We ensure that all employees are provided with employment documents that are freely agreed and which respect their legal and contractual rights.
All employees are provided with fair compensation packages which meet or exceed the legal minimum standards or appropriate prevailing industry standards.
We do not encourage to work more than the regular hours agreed and allowed by the laws of the country. All overtime work is on voluntary basis.
The rights of employees to freedom of association and collective bargaining are recognized and respected.
We respect human rights, mutually trust each other and do not discriminate against others. We treat each other with respect and dignity. This means that all of our employees and stakeholders are entitled to work in an environment that is free of harassment, discrimination and bullying.

Q Challenge Journey is committed to providing safe and healthy working conditions and complies with all applicable legislation and regulations. Each of us has a duty to work safely and to only undertake work when we are trained, competent, medically fit and sufficiently rested.

Integrity is one of Q Challenge’s core values. Through our actions and policies, we strive to do the right thing.
Q Challenge Journey competes fairly and within legal boundaries. Our coaching services are appreciated in many countries around the world, so our employees must comply with laws and regulations of the countries in which Q Challenge Journey operates. We do ask for legal consultation and advice to ensure that our legitimate interests are protected and report any discovery of illegal activities in connection with Q Challenge Journey’s own or connected operations involving third parties.
Our employees are expected to act in the best interest of our firm. We must never allow our personal interests to influence our decisions or actions on behalf of the firm. Every decision we make must be objective and with our firm’s business interests in mind. We do alert relevant authorities if we believe that any of our personal, financial or political activities do or potentially could create a conflict of interest with our roles & responsibilities at Q Challenge Journey.
What could be the grounds of a conflict of interest?
Q Challenge Journey has a zero-tolerance approach towards acts of bribery or corruption. We never offer or accept anything of value in order to get or retain business or to gain an unfair advantage. We follow anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws wherever we do business and, regardless of what local laws may permit or local circumstances may suggest, never offer, pay, promise to pay or accept anything of value to inappropriately influence the judgment, decisions or actions of others.
What could be anything of value?
At Q Challenge Journey, we are exposed to information about other organizations with which we conduct business that may not be known by the public.
We comply with international laws on insider dealing, i.e., trading in shares or in other securities when we have inside information about a company. Insider information is knowledge held that is not publicly available. If it did become available, it might influence an investor to make a decision to buy or to sell stocks or other securities. Insider dealing is both illegal and unfair.
We value the relationships and trust we have built with our clients, vendors and other business partners. These relationships and trust should never be affected by offers of inappropriate gifts or hospitality. Our employees do not exchange gifts & hospitality that may be perceived as an attempt to improperly influence a judgment, decision or action. An overgenerous gift may influence the recipient to return the favour to the donor. We politely decline gifts from clients, vendors or other business partners if they are:
Gifts presented to our employees in their official capacity and of low nominal value as prescribed, the refusal of which could be seen as unsociable or impolite, can be exceptionally accepted or donated to charity or community purpose. Declined gifts of cash or of an excessive nature, must be registered in the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct Register.
Our books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in appropriate detail, and must truly and properly reflect our transactions.
Records could include:
We commit ourselves to fair taxation and to avoid all tax evasion practices. We retain records according to the requirements of the local laws and regulations or longer.
All employees must follow accounting procedures, ensure that business transactions are recorded and documented appropriately and make certain that all disclosures made in financial reports are full, honest, accurate, timely and understandable. Cooperate fully, openly and honestly with internal and external auditors, tax authorities and other regulators.
Money laundering occurs when the proceeds of crime are hidden in legitimate business dealings, or when legitimate funds are used to support criminal activities, including terrorism, drug dealing, tax evasion, human trafficking and fraud.
We condemn all forms of money laundering, so we are committed to do business with partners involved in legitimate business activities with funds derived from legitimate sources. We comply with anti-money laundering, financial crime and antiterrorism laws in all countries in which we operate.
We invest time in understanding our clients, vendors and other business partners and the reputations they have for following the law. We will alert authorities if we notice signals, such as:
Being trustworthy is one of Q Challenge’s core values. Through our actions and policies, we commit to behaving in ways that others recognize our trustworthiness as essential to the services we provide.
We consider any non-public information about our firm and about our clients, coachees, vendors or other business partners that we may have (access to) as part of our assignment to be confidential information. Information can be held on paper, electronically in documents or in IT applications & systems. Our requirements to protect information apply to all formats, and we take this commitment to protection seriously. We keep confidential information safe. We recognize that sharing non-public information with family or friends, or discussing it in public placing or on social media, may put that information at risk of being disclosed and potentially misused. We remember that our commitment of keeping non-public information lasts beyond our previous, current and next employment.
Antitrust laws protect fair competition. Supporting these principles is important to us, not only because it is the law, but because it is what we believe in, respect and promote. We hold ourselves accountable and never enter into any agreement or an inappropriate conversation with a competitor on:

We alert others if we have obtained a competitor’s confidential information unintentionally.

Demonstrating accountability is one of Q Challenge’s fundamental values. Through our actions and policies, we hold ourselves accountable for keeping our promises and abiding by all legal and community guidelines.
We are responsible for the security, protection and for the economic use of our firm’s resources. Our resources, including time, material, equipment and information are provided for legitimate business use only. Occasional personal use is permissible as long as it is lawful, does not affect job performance or disrupt workplace morale.
All employees are obliged to follow appropriate security measures and they should treat our firm’s property, whether material or intangible, with respect and shouldn’t misuse our Company assets or use them carelessly.
Intellectual Property (IP), i.e., patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets are also valuable Company assets. We protect IP and note that our firm owns any work product (such as ideas, processes and inventions) that are designed or developed in working for/with us. The ownership continues even if you leave our firm.

We implement proper and stringent security measures to assure confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal information.
We do observe the legal requirements, apply compliant practices and follow related procedures to ensure legality of personal data handling and processing activities.
Ethical conduct is a value-driven decision making. Several key questions can help to identify situations that may be unethical, inappropriate or illegal. We ask ourselves:
We appreciate your commitment to Q Challenge Journey and our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Be inspired and work each day in a way that inspires others. Follow not only our Code and the laws and regulations, but also your conscience. When you notice something that does not feel right or puts our firm, our people or those we serve at risk, you can speak up and share your concerns, knowing that Q Challenge Journey wants to hear them.

PHILOSOPHY
What drives us to challenge you to reach above the rising bar?
The requirements for the development of organizations and leaders become more differentiated and individualistic daily.
At Q Challenge Journey, we do not follow the path of standardized programs. Instead we develop and customize developmental measures according to each client’s needs, centered around the purpose and shared values of the organization.
Together with each client, we carefully consider how the desired shared values can be truly integrated in the leadership style and thus inspire internal and external stakeholders to align with the purpose of the organization while addressing the complex challenges in the market.
Our philosophy takes effect when the leaders we coach gain maximum respect from stakeholders for making the right decisions, for executing the actions they promised and by inspiring interaction with others.
How do you allow us to challenge assumptions and approaches of the old school within your organization?
“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, it is imagination.”

When Visitors share the learning experiences or outcome with colleagues of their organization, Q Challenge Journey may also ask Visitors to submit additional personal information such as a picture for the display of Black Belts (sixth practice step of the q Quiz Challenge) or for the report of a Team Assessment. Required Contact Information, Optional Information and any other information submitted to Q Challenge Journey to or through the Services are referred to collectively as “Data.”
As the Visitor navigates the Company’s Websites, Q Challenge Journey may also collect information through the use of commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons (“Website Navigational Information”). Website Navigational Information includes standard information from Web browsers (such as browser type and browser language), Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses, and the actions taken by the Visitor on the Company’s Websites (such as the Web pages viewed and the links clicked).
3. Use of information collected
Q Challenge Journey uses Data about the Customers to perform the services requested. For example, if you fill out a “Contact Me” Web form, the Company will use the information provided to contact you about your interest in the Services.
Q Challenge Journey may also use Data about the Company’s Customers and Attendees for marketing purposes. For example, the Company may use information you provide to contact you to further discuss your interest in the Services and to send you information regarding the Company, and its partners, such as information about promotions or events.
Q Challenge Journey does not display advertising on our Websites and Services.
4. Website Navigational Information
Cookies, Web beacons and IP Addresses
Q Challenge Journey uses commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies or web beacons, to collect information as the Visitor navigates the Company’s Websites (“Website Navigational Information”). We use these cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer Websites and Services, log users’ movements around our Websites and Services, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
5. Sharing of Information Collected
Q Challenge Journey may share Data about our Visitors, Customers and Attendees with the Company’s contracted service providers so that these service providers can provide services on our behalf. These service providers are authorized to use the Visitor’s personal information only as necessary to provide the requested services to us. Q Challenge Journey does not share, sell, rent, or trade any information with third parties for their promotional purposes.
Q Challenge Journey reserves the right to use or disclose information provided if required by law or if the Company reasonably believes that use or disclosure is necessary to protect the Company’s rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
6. International transfer of information collected
Q Challenge Journey primarily stores Data about Customers and Attendees in Europe. To facilitate Q Challenge Journey’s global operations, the Company may transfer and access such information from around the world. This Privacy Statement shall apply even if the Company transfers Data about Q Challenge’s Customers or Data about the Company’s Attendees to other countries.
7. Preferences
Q Challenge Journey offers Visitors, Customers, and Attendees who provide contact information a means to choose how the Company uses the information provided. Visitors may opt out from uploading personal photographs or from being displayed at the Wall of Fame of the q Athenaeum amongst the Visitor’s company, country or division or group colleagues. The Visitor also may ask Q Challenge Journey to close his/her account and remove all contents, including personal data and learning submissions and q Challenger feedback as well as reports on individual Leadership or Team style. This request allows the download of all personal data including learning, development and assessment data. This request thus terminates the Visitor’s access to the q Coaching Camp.
8. Correcting, updating and the retaining of your information
Q Challenge Journey may retain the Visitor’s information for a period of time consistent with the original purpose of collection. For instance, we may retain information during the time in which the Visitor has an account to use our Websites or Services and for a reasonable period of time afterward. We also may retain personal information during the period of time needed for Q Challenge Journey to pursue our legitimate business interests, conduct audits, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
If a Visitor, Customer or Attendee has not accessed the q Coaching Camp for three (3) years to review past content, and if (s)he cannot be reached by the registered email or Q Challenge Journey cannot obtain an answer to the contact email within a time frame of 30 days, Q Challenge Journey reserves the right to remove the Visitor’s, Customer’s or Attendee’s account, all personal data and the entire content of leadership learning, development or assessment which then cannot be retrieved anymore.
The Visitor may request to review, correct, delete or otherwise modify any of the personal information that has been previously provided to us through the Company’s Websites and Services. If the Visitor has registered for an account with Q Challenge Journey, he/she may generally request Q Challenge Journey to update user settings. Requests to access, change, or delete information will be addressed within a time frame of 30 days.
9. Security of personal information
Q Challenge Journey uses robust physical, technical and administrative security measures to protect Data about our Customers, Visitors and Attendees and to help prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of personal information. While Q Challenge Journey takes these steps to protect personal information as much as we reasonably can, no system or transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network, or any storage of data, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
10. Consent
By using the Websites, the Visitor consents to the collection, use and processing of his/her personally-identifiable information by us in the manner and for the uses described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
We reserve the right to make changes to these policies as appropriate and will alert the Visitor to any changes made.
