Transactional Intelligence™ (TQ) is a structured methodology for navigating the hidden layer beneath every conversation — the human exchanges that produce every outcome. TQ makes those exchanges visible, so you can move through them consciously rather than be ruled by forces you cannot see.
Transacting isn’t cold. Low TQ is.
Professionals from these organizations have trained in TQ
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You agreed. Then resented it.
Everyone nodded. Nothing got done.
You ignored the signs. They quietly quit.
You know what you’re worth. You keep taking less.
The vision is clear to you. You can’t get buy-in.
These aren’t people problems. They’re TQ problems.
What people call “transactional” — cold, calculated, self-serving — is not the nature of transacting. It is the symptom of its absence.
High TQ is what makes cooperation feel genuine — not managed, not performed. It is not a personality type or a communication style. It is a structured discipline, studied and applied by practitioners across more than twenty countries in the professional exchanges that produce real outcomes.
Low TQ is not a character flaw. It is the predictable result of never having been shown the structure operating beneath every professional outcome. High TQ is teachable. The professionals who pursue it already sense that something is running beneath their transactions that they cannot yet see.

TQ identifies four characteristic ways of moving through the Transaction Cycle™. The Diagnostic locates you within that methodology — not as a final verdict, as a starting point.
Your TQ orientation
Where attention and energy naturally flow in any consequential exchange.
Your avoided exchange
The stage in the Transaction Cycle that your pattern tends to sidestep.
The name of your loop
The specific breakdown pattern your orientation produces under pressure.
A first signal
What the cycle tends to require from you that you are not yet providing.
Free · No prerequisites · Five minutes
The Diagnostic gives you your orientation. Navigator is where that orientation meets your actual transactions.
Two days, in person. You bring a real transaction — something with real stakes, currently in motion.
You work it in real time, with practitioners doing the same. The methodology meets the room. Things that were abstract become navigable.
Navigator introduces TQ in practice. FOT is where you study the full methodology — every step, in sequence, applied to the transactions that matter most.
