The UCR Advantage: A Simple Way to Boost Your Emotional Intelligence, Fast!

A Practical Resource for Improving Emotional Intelligence in Life and Leadership.

Are you tired of obstacles hindering your success? Are you tired of spinning your wheels? 

Whether you are challenged with improving relationships at home or at work, struggling to make decisions, working to minimize conflicts, feeling stuck, or building self-confidence, there may be forces at play that you are unaware of. Emotional intelligence (EQ) has zero to do with your intellectual intelligence (IQ) and has everything to do with how you are able to use emotions to make decisions that improve your life. EQ is already at play in your life, whether you realize it or not. But, how do you improve it? The UCR Advantage is a simple method designed to help you develop a set of skills that when used effectively, can be life-changing. The UCR Advantage is a two dimensional framework that helps you manage situations in the moment to maximize effectiveness and improve outcomes in your life. Along with these improved outcomes, you experience a boost in confidence as you embrace leveraging your emotional power.

Our mission is to redefine – through employing the latest understanding of brain-plasticity and reiterative technologies – the ideal practice of leadership excellence as one which includes mastery over distress (the negative and destructive form of emotional stress), designed work-life flow and intentional well-being. Doing so empowers leaders to ascend above the noise and overwhelm to thrive “Above the Grind.” – Rhonda Y. Williams

Rhonda Y. Williams is in high demand, and rightly so. Her remarkable victory story and path from career and personal “devastation-to-emancipation,” marked by her unrivaled commitment to creating transformational leaders offer a powerfully authentic and inspiring model of pertinacity and endurance, a blueprint for constructing self-trust – a process of creating and growing self-mastery for the modern professional.

Rhonda has invested over a decade in researching, engineering, and honing her singular curricula, next-level philosophies, tools, and solutions to aid leaders plagued by the “GRIND,” i.e., the tortuous “mean-average consciousness” of self-invented overwhelm and learned helplessness. Her work has led her to starting Above the GRIND Leadership Mentoring and Coaching Academy which consists of action-based philosophy formalized into a repeatable, highly structured system.
