SQ21: The Twenty-One Skills of Spiritual Intelligence

Cindy Wigglesworth

Show Description:
Business visionaries focused on Cognitive (IQ) Intelligence for decades, as a way of recruiting and retaining the best and the brightest, until the breakthrough concept of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) was embraced.  Now Cindy Wigglesworth, Fortune 500-level executive leadership expert, unlocks the final frontier to our highest human potential with her latest book SQ21: The Twenty-One Skills of Spiritual Intelligence (Select Books; October 9, 2012; $24.95).
 
By enhancing our most evolved perception of the world—our spiritual intelligence—we can develop our full potential and lead a joyful life that serves others.  Drawing upon the latest research into psychology, human development, behavioral theory and spirituality, Wigglesworth created a tactical guide to help professionals develop their most profound spiritual intelligence. “If I’m earning a paycheck but am impoverished when it comes to joy, I am not living a spiritually intelligent life,” says Wigglesworth.  Where SQ21 differs from other books of its kind is in its practical application and provides a set of skills that help readers live and work with greater direction, wisdom and compassion.
 
Developing SQ allows us to make decisions on a higher level while under stress, dealing with complexity or undergoing high rates of change. Wigglesworth divides her 21 skills into four quadrants:
·         Know Thyself – Begin the shift from the pettiness of ego to a higher self in order to reduce the drama in your home, your workplace and your relationships.
Know the World – Discover your interconnectedness and the vast potential of universal awareness unlimited by human boundaries.
Self-Mastery – Realize how putting aside the often powerful drive of the ego for the greater good can allow us to reach higher goals.
Social Mastery and Spiritual Presence – Integrate all of the skills of SQ to become a powerful leader and change agent.
