TNT 2.0: Episode 79 with Brian Cunningham - AWARENESS QUOTIENT - a podcast by Teresa Quinlan

Today we welcome Brian Cunningham…

On his journey from Parking Lot Attendant to CEO, Brian has studied the leadership experience at every level within a complex organization. As a life-long student of leadership and an explorer of numerous paths of expanded awareness, Brian has sought to discover the deeper possibilities and foundational drivers of extra-ordinary leadership service.



A key component of his purpose is to actively contribute to the revolution in leadership understanding and practice. This has led to the authoring of two books on the foundations of exceptional leadership and the development of the AQ (Awareness Quotient) Model of leadership development.

In this episode we cover a lot of ground...

- AWARENESS quotient is about foundational drivers for exceptional leadership

- In life…I noticed myself asking “There’s got to be something more.” and this led to my exploration

- My goal has been to serve whomever is in front of me in any way and every way that I needed to

- Awareness quotient model consists of 4 pieces:

o Internal environment and awareness

o External environment

o Integration: internal and external environments together. The dance of humanity!

o Clarify – use focus and attention on purpose for how we see and experience the world

- Development progression is a part of everyone’s life experience. Crawl then walk then run. Use this developmental progression for AQ as well!

- AQ – observe your internal environment; expand this awareness, your feelings, thoughts, beliefs, biases, values.
