Why We Exist
We make wellbeing more accessible for the next generation and show that meditation is a practical tool for clarity, connection and growth in the modern world.
When young professionals feel supported, teams thrive and cultures strengthen from the inside out.
Why Elevate EQ
Elevate EQ was founded to make meditation feel modern, human and accessible. What began as a personal journey into mindfulness became a purpose to support the next generation with calm, clarity and connection. Backed by research and lived experience, we bring a grounded, people-first approach to wellbeing that works in the real world.
What We Do (And Why It Matters)
-
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the self-awareness, empathy and relationship skills that help people perform, collaborate and grow; both at work and in life. Where IQ measures how we think, EQ influences how we lead, communicate and develop trust.
We help organisations grow their EQ so cultures become more human, resilient and ready to retain and empower their people.
-
We help young professionals feel less anxious and more centred, so they can bring their best selves to work without burning out.
-
We support senior leaders in leading with calm and clarity, so teams feel guided, not just managed.
-
We focus on consistency and depth, knowing that transformation does not happen in a single lunchtime workshop.
-
We help organisations become places where young professionals feel understood, supported and inspired to stay.
Why Elevate EQ Works
Our approach blends science, story and lived experience.
According to The Predictive Index (2025), 62% of Gen Z professionals say they have been overlooked due to misperceptions, and half of young employees feel misunderstood at work.
Presence, empathy and mental clarity are not soft skills. They are strategic ones.
