ABOUT DRIVEN

DRIVEN empowers motivated professionals to enjoy more productive, engaged, and energized lives.

The DRIVEN Mission

DRIVEN exists to support and provide tools that enable motivated professionals to live more productive, engaged, and energized lives.

Conversational Intelligence® is a revolutionary body of work leveraging the power of neuroscience to create profound and lasting transformation for individuals, teams, and entire organizational cultures. Combining science and intuition, Conversational Intelligence® (C-IQ) aspires to shift our world from I-Centric to WE-Centric and foster Conversational Transformation on a neuro-chemical level.

DRIVEN’s work, worldwide, will be facilitated by a community of C-IQ-certified coaches, and recipients will benefit from experiences that have been co-created by this innovative, compassionate, and energized community.

Our Driving Principles

Our driving principles serve as a promise to our clients that we are interested in their safety, education, and advancement.

  • The interests of DRIVEN’s individual and corporate clients come before the interests of our shareholders, vendors, sponsors, and partners. If either of these is in conflict with the interests and good of our clients, clients will take precedence.

  • DRIVEN provides a supportive, positive environment where any participant can feel safe with vetted specialists, programs, and best practices.

  • Corporate and individual clients receive accurate information about speakers, specialists, and workshop leaders’ professional degrees, credentials, and experience.

  • Each program participant is able to freely express opinions, without fear of public humiliation, ridicule, or shame. Individuals are all entitled to a positive learning experience.

  • The CEO or Chairperson of the Board will hear complaints not speedily handled by a company representative.

  • We take Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability seriously and actively engage with like-minded people and enterprises.
