9Q's Five Elements Excellence Assessment™

Your Key to Personal & Organizational Transformation in 2025

A Message from William Poett

Dear Friend,
As we stand on the cusp of a new era, you've taken a pivotal step toward unlocking extraordinary possibilities—for yourself and for those around you. Welcome to your journey of transformation with the 9Q's Five Elements Excellence Assessment™.

Why Your Journey Matters

In today's rapidly changing world:

76% of people report not living up to their full potential (Gallup, 2022).
Depression and anxiety affect over 264 million people worldwide (WHO).
68% of professionals feel disconnected from their purpose (HBR, 2021).
Only 15% of employees worldwide are engaged in their work (Gallup, 2022).
Over $7.8 trillion is lost annually due to organizational misalignment (McKinsey, 2022).

Yet within these challenges lies unprecedented opportunity.

"9Q is the most simple, powerful, and actionable leadership and cultural development training I've ever experienced." — Ernesto Paredes, Executive Director, Easy Lift

9Q’s Five Elements Framework™ taps into nature's universal language of transformation. Just as nature achieves harmony through integrated elements, human excellence emerges when we align with these energies.

Before You Begin: Embracing Your Journey of Self-Discovery

This assessment is your compass, guiding you toward your personal North Star. Approach it openly. Identify growth areas as opportunities for planting seeds of future success.

Time Required: 20-30 Minutes

What to Expect:

A thought-provoking assessment across five essential elements.
Clear insights into strengths and opportunities for 2025.
Actionable steps to accelerate personal and organizational transformation.

Tip: Answer based on your first instinct rather than overthinking.

Overview: The 9Q Five Elements Framework™

Each element represents a distinct energy:

Void (9Q): Purpose/Identity (Who You Are)
Earth (PQ): Physical/Strategy (What You Do)
Water (IQ): Mental/Systems (How You Achieve It)
Fire (EQ): Emotional/Energy (Why It Matters)
Wind (SQ): Impact/Execution (When & Where It Happens)
Return to Void (Evolution): Continuous Growth

Aligned, they create unstoppable momentum and growth.
