VerticalQ as added value
VerticalQ lets
the body speak
VerticalQ lets the body speak and uses its unique and effective multiple brain assessment method to map the strongest talents of individuals and teams. We are happy to tell you more about the added value of the VerticalQ Assessment, the in-depth models and how it works in practice.
Vertical development
You are probably familiar with the expression ‘being in your power’. We can give you the actual experience what physical ‘standing in your power’ feels like and then translate this into a business-smart and personal talent profile based on your head, heart and gut intelligence centers.
Have you ever thought about the developing your head, heart and gut intelligence? And have you ever experienced the amazing cooperation that goes on between the three intelligence centers in your body?
At VerticalQ we call this Vertical development: your ability to make use the nine different talents and to enhance how your three brains align together and support each other. Our multiple brain assessment provides new insights into talents that you may previously have been unaware of or not fully understood. VerticalQ creates insight for you and the team around you and enables you to stand in your power.
VerticalQ in brief
VerticalQ is a multiple brain assessment method that helps you understand your talents, the people around you and the dynamics within your team.
During the assessment, a personal profile is created by testing how someone naturally moves and operates. Working closely with the practitioner, the candidate experiences for himself the relative strengths of his talents. The four strongest talents form the talent profile.
Answer to
development questions
How do I work from my energy instead of muscle strength?
Working from your talent is effortless. The VerticalQ assessment shows in which talents someone is in his or her strength. In follow-up coaching, we learn to use these talents consciously, so that someone learns to apply the intelligence of the heart and the abdomen in practice. This ensures a more complete self-image and more energy.
How can we ensure that we work together optimally within our team?
Having a common language and purpose ensures that teams perform at their best. By means of VerticalQ, teams not only gain insight into the different talents and roles, but also how these talents are attuned to each other, when these talents can best be deployed and from which dynamics a talent operates.
How do I work from my strength and talent?
Working from your own talents starts with having insight. At VerticalQ this insight is not reasoned from the head, but is experienced with the body. With the VerticalQ assessment, it is ‘measured’ when someone is in his or her strength and this exposes the strongest talents. The personal report explains which talents these are and how a person uses his or her strengths optimally.

The value for teams
Common language
VerticalQ offers a concrete, common language for rational and less rational matters. For example, ‘atmosphere’ in a team or ‘a gut feeling that something is not right’. This information becomes commercially applicable and of great value through the use of VerticalQ.
Common goal
The world around us is constantly changing. Knowing together what is needed to achieve the common goal requires continuous coordination and adjustment. Not only in what you do, but also in how you do it together. Every talent can play an important role in this process.
Insight into each other’s talents
Insight into each other’s talents and possible contribution to the collective provides more understanding and more insight into the strength of the team. When people can work together based on their talent, it gives energy, people have fun, it brings satisfaction and it increases the results.
Complex issues
We live in a complex world in which the issues that arise can only be solved through cooperation and using all our wisdom. In addition to the brain in your head, which we all know well, we also need the brain in the heart area and the brain in the abdominal area.
Deepening
Models
VerticalQ has developed a number of models that further deepen the cohesion between the talents and clarify the typical characteristics of talents in different themes. The three brains are integrated and deepened in different collaboration models.
Leading a change could, for example, be divided into four phases. The talents that VerticalQ describes all link up with one or two phases within this cycle. When you know which talents you have at your disposal within a team, you can also use these talents more consciously within the phase in which you are currently operating.
The 9 talents
VerticalQ distinguishes 9 talents that are focused on collaboration and personal leadership. Every talent is present, but differs in strength per person.
Each talent has its own characteristics, its own focus and has its own pace and rhythm. The talents are also interrelated. Talents can reinforce each other and can trigger each other’s pitfalls. This is described in clear language in the personal report that each participant receives after the assessment. The report is the start to empower yourself by working (together) from your unique combination of talents.
