OUR Journey

Andy and Liz first met at Central Washington University in 2018 where Liz was working towards her undergraduate degree and Andy is a management professor.  They quickly developed a relationship beyond Professor and student when Andy started to mentor Liz after graduation.

As their mentorship relationship grew, it took them on a journey of self-discovery centered around emotional intelligence, leadership, and how to  model compassion in the workplace. They both realized that throughout their careers in corporate America, the same questions kept arising…

“Why are so many leaders lacking in EQ and struggling to build authentic bonds?” 

“Why aren’t companies realizing that compassion and business results can co-exist?”

And most importantly…

“How can we change this?”

Over the next several years, Andy and Liz became obsessed with studying emotional intelligence, mindfulness-based leadership, and how to lead from a place of insight. Andy and Liz knew they were being called to share their personal experiences, research, and journey of professional development with others! And so, in 2020, EQ4PROS was founded! 

Both Liz and Andy feel they have found their calling in life and are living out their true purpose of Building Mindful Leaders.
