Most of us know our IQ.
And we’ve all heard about EQ (emotional intelligence).
At this point, there’s even FQ (financial intelligence) and SQ (spiritual intelligence).
But have you heard of VQ (Volatility Intelligence)?
That’s the score for how flexible, adaptive and resilient you are, across 8 parameters of your life WTSHTF (when the shit hits the fan).
Because while most of us have solid skills–they’re usually only in the areas we’ve prioritized and concentrated on.
We might have our career sorted.
Or fitness.
Or relationships.
A good understanding of current events.
Or ways to optimize our nervous systems.
Which means we can handle one-off, one dimensional challenges quite well.
A health issue? Funds and consultation with the right experts help.
Career pivot? Time, smarts and experience make it through.
Family issues? Better communication and re-committing to shared values.
But what about compounding, simultaneous multidimensional challenges?
AKA: Volatility
Think market collapse plus citywide power disruptions plus a sick kid and career disruption…
Who’s got all that covered?
Way fewer of us.
Almost no one ever rounds out the dial to be truly prepared, for any situation.
Which, when you look around at the insane volatility happening in markets, politics, geopolitics, environmental pressures, social cohesion, existential risk…
“Any situation” becomes much more likely, and probable.
And the better we plan and prepare for it, the less scary, destabilizing or disrupting any one of these can be. So we can shake off the yips, and keep showing up. For our selves, our families and the wider world.
So what’s the first step to planning and preparing?
Measuring. Seeing where you’re at. And how you stack up. Knowing exactly how to close the gap.
And next Tuesday at 10am PT we’re running a free, live training on exactly that:
Discover your VQ: The hidden intelligence shaping our Volatile Future
You’ll walk away with:
Your VQ (Volatility Quotient) score — a live scorecard mapping your strengths, blind spots, and highest-leverage gaps
The 8 domains of real readiness (and the ones where most people are dangerously thin)
A practical toolkit to close the gap, for yourself, your family, or your team
So if you’re feeling a bit too one-dimensional these days…
Like your identity and sense of preparedness all hangs on one strength, while there are obvious high leverage areas you need to catch up on…
Join us on Tuesday for a fast, fun jam (not a doom zoom session!) and a clear readiness plan.
As outdoor guides and wilderness medics, (and historians) we’ve learned a few things along the way about training resilience in wild conditions.
As peak performance experts, we’ve learned a few things about showing up at your best on the stages that matter most.
And while we don’t presume to know what’s coming this next decade.
We’re pretty sure it’s gonna look way different than the last.
See you there,
Jamie and the FGP Team
