What Is Your PQ?
Professional Quotient: Turning Experience into Impact
PQ Defined
PQ—your Professional Quotient—is how you apply your Professional Equity to make meaningful, equitable impact. It’s about how you show up, who you lift up, and why you lead.
It All Starts with Professional Equity
Professional Equity is what you build over time—through lived experiences, resilience, learning, and relationships. Think of it as a savings account for your career. Every risk you take, every lesson you share is a deposit.
