Mark De Herdt, Owner Operator and Board Member McDonalds's Corporation
''I have had the pleasure to work with Nadja on several HR related projects for McDonald’s Belgium. She is an intelligent, professional, experienced and humoristic lady. A good communicator. She successfully helped to introduce new IT based communication tools for the Belgian restaurant teams, while spreading positivism and optimism throughout the system. She chose her vision well, she really breathes EQ. For any challenge one might have in the fields of people and team management and /or training, I can highly recommend Nadja. She has that empathic skill to really see people for who they are and to motivate them to go for the best possible outcome.''

Your Biggest Challenges—Solved with Emotional Intelligence
Retain High Performers. Exit Low Performers—Efficiently.
❌ Top talent drives success, but underperformance is costly. The challenge? Retaining your best while gracefully managing exits.
✅ With EQ: Leaders make data-informed, emotionally intelligent decisions to inspire top performers and handle difficult transitions with professionalism.
Attract and Retain the Best Talent in Your Industry.
❌ The battle for top talent is fierce—great employees have options. The best organizations don’t just hire; they create cultures where people want to stay.
✅ With EQ: You build a workplace that values authenticity, trust, and growth—making you a magnet for industry-leading talent.
Upskill the Workforce & Maximize Human-AI Potential.
❌ The future of work isn’t AI replacing humans—it’s AI augmenting human potential. But to thrive, your workforce needs the right mindset, training, and support.
✅ With EQ: Leaders guide teams through AI transitions, balancing technical upskilling with emotional resilience to drive innovation—not resistance.
Re-skill Internally to Save Costs During AI Adoption.
❌ Laying off workers due to AI-driven changes? That’s expensive, disruptive, and not always necessary. The smartest companies reskill from within—leveraging institutional knowledge while cutting hiring costs.
✅ With EQ: Your leadership team identifies and nurtures internal talent, transforming disruption into cost-saving opportunity.
Introduce AI While Mitigating Risks.
❌ AI brings game-changing efficiencies—but it also introduces bias, security, and workforce adaptation challenges. Ignoring the human factor? That’s where AI implementations fail.
✅ With EQ: Leaders proactively address change resistance, ethical dilemmas, and workforce concerns—ensuring AI adoption is seamless, ethical, and effective.
"Quiet quitters make up between a fifth and two fifths of organisations’ workforce."
- McKinsey
Stop ‘Quiet Quitting’ Before It Costs You Millions.
❌ Disengaged employees don’t leave immediately—they check out while collecting a paycheck. The cost? Billions in lost productivity.
✅ With EQ: Leaders spot early warning signs, re-engage employees, and foster a culture where people give their best—not just the bare minimum.
Minimize Ethical & Legal Risks of AI Adoption.
❌ AI decisions impact hiring, promotions, security, and compliance—one misstep could mean lawsuits, fines, or reputation damage.
✅ With EQ: Your leadership team develops ethical foresight, preventing bias, discrimination, and compliance failures before they escalate.
Safeguard Your Reputation—Because Bad Press is Expensive.
❌ One viral controversy can erode public trust, impact stock prices, and drive customers away.
✅ With EQ: Leaders handle crisis communication with clarity and composure, turning potential PR disasters into leadership moments.
Get Ahead of Regulatory Investigations & Minimize Litigation Risk.
❌ Regulators are tightening AI governance—waiting until an issue arises means scrambling in crisis mode.
✅ With EQ: Your organization adopts a proactive internal audit approach, ensuring compliance before regulators knock on your door.
Elevate Leadership & Cut Costs—Because Inspiration is Free.
❌ Great leadership costs nothing—but poor leadership costs everything. Studies show high-EQ leaders boost performance, retention, and profitability.
✅ With EQ: Leaders motivate, guide, and inspire—reducing turnover, increasing engagement, and cutting costs linked to disengagement.
