From the moment Effective Intelligence became known through Jerry Rhodes' work in the UK in the early 1980s, self-employed consultants wanted it, for they recognised in it an outstanding break-through in raising performance. The first independent licensee was accredited in 1985: he is still using Effective Intelligence, mainly with Boards of directors. Long term, licensing is an investment that will leverage your own intellectual capital and extend the range of assignments you can undertake. You choose how far and how deep you want to go with Effective Intelligence. Accreditation training is tailored to suit your strengths and the kind of work you like to do i.e. coaching, group trainings, organisation development, in–depth consultancy etc. Effective Intelligence will grow your capabilities as an independent, and enhance what you can deliver, in line with how you are prepared to deepen your knowledge and understanding of it over time. Qualification and Accreditation is through Jerry Rhodes or the Master Trainers.

We look for the following characteristics:

•   Intellectual energy and power
•   Articulate and sensitive communication
•   A grasp of management work, plus good organising skill
•   Street-wise commercial nous
•   Courage, imagination and ingenuity
•   Willingness for serious study and long-term development
•   Financial resources to cover your training

A track record as an independent consultant is obviously desirable, but we do sometimes accept as potential licensees those who are making the switch from employment to self-employment. When the applicant comes already licensed from a client, permission must naturally be obtained to carry over the licence. We know such a change can appear very attractive. However, it requires determination to succeed, so we always interview with great care to see if you are really up for it. We do not always say 'yes!'


How you will benefit from Licensing

Thinking itself is such a central activity that helping other people, often senior to you, to set new standards for how they approach work and the whole of life is a profound enterprise. If you seek to become a licensee, we shall want to hear of the breadth of your life and work: not just what your career has been, but what your interests are, what you have achieved that gave you joy and brought joy to others, how you have managed through adverse circumstances and what your life's philosophy and values embrace.

1. You will have the immediate benefit of using an integrated, generic system for managing your own thinking, whatever you are doing. We believe strongly in 'eating our own bread' that is really practising what we preach. Only when you know for yourself its value can you share it with others so effectively. This is core know-how with wide applications, on any level: so get those you coach or train to put it to use immediately and frequently.

2. You will have a coherent and well-documented package of tools from which you can select to suit your clients' objectives. Since thinking is strategic, there are unlimited uses to which these tools can be put. We train you to deliver to your clients' needs – which means looking beyond what they say they want to the solutions they really need.

3. Long term you will find that the depth and spread of Effective Intelligence will take you far. The staged accreditation trainings, which you undertake at your own pace, enables you to stretch farther with ever greater subtlety and penetration.
