The New IQ builds on analytical thinking by integrating a holistic and regenerative approach to life and work. By activating all layers of intelligence—somatic, emotional, heart, and intuitive—it enhances strategic clarity, deepens insight, and fosters flow, presence, and meaningful impact.
Welcome To The Full Spectrum Of Human Intelligence
As leaders and teams shaping organisations, movements, and missions, you have already stepped into the bold responsibility of driving change. Your ability to think critically, analyse complexity, and make strategic decisions is essential. But in a world of relentless uncertainty and rapid transformation, analytical thinking alone is no longer enough.
Most rely primarily on the mind, leaning heavily on logic, strategy, and problem-solving, while other forms of intelligence remain underutilised due to mental overload and constant stimulation. The result is over effort, burnout, and decision-making that feels reactive rather than inspired.
This is not about rejecting analytical thinking. It is about expanding intelligence to include the full spectrum of human capacity. To lead effectively today, we must integrate cognitive clarity with embodied awareness, heart coherence, intuitive foresight, and ethical innovation. When all these intelligences work together, decision-making becomes sharper, leadership becomes more resilient, and progress becomes deeply aligned with the future we are here to create.

Intellectual Intelligence
True intelligence is more than information—it is the ability to think critically, analyse complexity, and make decisions with clarity and purpose. Research in cognitive science and neuroplasticity shows that strategic thinking, problem-solving, and goal-setting sharpen mental agility, enabling individuals to assess challenges, anticipate outcomes, and navigate uncertainty with precision.
Principle: Intelligence is not just knowledge—it is the ability to question, interpret, and apply with clarity.
Focus: Analytical reasoning, critical thinking, strategic problem-solving.
Because in a world of limitless information, those who think critically will lead the way.
-
Embodied Intelligence
Intelligence isn’t just in the mind—it lives in every cell of our body. Somatic psychology and neuroscience reveal that our bodies store experiences and emotions, shaping how we adapt, express, and connect authentically. The nervous system plays a crucial role in emotional regulation and resilience, with somatic practices helping us process, restore balance, and respond with greater awareness.
Principle: True intelligence is somatic, sensory-driven, and deeply connected to our nervous system.
Focus: Sensory awareness, emotional flow, and intuitive movement.
Because when we listen to the body, we don’t just think more clearly—we move, lead, and live with greater wisdom.
-
Heart Intelligence
Intelligence thrives in connection. Research on heart-brain coherence shows that the heart plays a vital role in regulating stress, fostering clarity, and strengthening relationships. When we cultivate trust, forgiveness, and the ability to let go, we create deeper coherence within ourselves and with others. This is the intelligence that fosters belonging, strengthens resilience, and allows us to navigate change with grace.
Principle: True intelligence is relational, coherence-driven, and essential for deep connection.
Focus: Heart-centered awareness, forgiveness, relational trust, and the power of letting go.
Because when we lead with the heart, we create space for healing, understanding, and a more connected world.
-
Intuitive Intelligence
Intelligence goes beyond logic—it is about trusting the deeper wisdom that guides us. Research on subconscious processing and the gut-brain axis confirms that intuition is a real cognitive function, enabling the brain to rapidly assess patterns and process information beneath conscious awareness. When we learn to trust this innate ability, we enhance decision-making, strengthen foresight, and unlock new creative possibilities.
Principle: True intelligence is instinctual, subconscious, and shaped by experience and deep-seated knowledge.
Focus: Inner clarity, foresight, and creative problem-solving.
Because the most effective decisions aren’t just thought—they are felt, recognised, and acted upon with confidence.
-
Evolved Intelligence
Evolved intelligence is about harnessing AI to reflect and amplify our highest human values—creativity, empathy, and purpose. Research in human-AI collaboration and cognitive augmentation confirms that when technology is used ethically and intentionally, it can expand human consciousness, reinforce our values, and accelerate solutions for planetary healing.
Principle: True intelligence is adaptive, integrative, and shaped by the synergy between human values and technological innovation.
Focus: Ethical AI use, augmented creativity, and enhancing human potential for social impact.
Because the future of intelligence isn’t about machines replacing us—it’s about technology elevating what makes us most human.
