Research consistently finds that the vast majority of top-performing leaders share one trait that has nothing to do with IQ: high emotional intelligence. Yet most organizations still treat EQ as a once-a-year workshop topic instead of a daily discipline. ThriveIQ Solutions is closing that gap today with the launch of EQie, a groundbreaking AI-powered emotional intelligence coach built to help individuals and organizations sharpen the human edge that no algorithm can replace: self-awareness, communication, and emotional regulation.
EQie is the flagship of the EQvantage System, Dr. René's full ecosystem of emotional intelligence tools for hiring, leadership development, teams, and women's leadership — now available as an AI coach that works in real time, every day.
To celebrate the launch, ThriveIQ Solutions is offering a 14-day free trial through July 31, 2026 at eqie.thriveiqsolutions.com.
EQie is the vision of Dr. Claire A. René, Ed.D, MBA, a powerhouse in the emotional intelligence field with over a decade of experience in emotional intelligence and leadership development research, executive coaching, and strategy. A former college professor, a current telecom executive, and CEO of ThriveIQ Solutions, an emotional intelligence consulting firm, Dr. René has spent her career translating deep emotional intelligence research into practical development tools executives actually use.
"Emotional intelligence development isn't a one-time workshop — it's a daily practice. I've dedicated over a decade to emotional intelligence and leadership development research and coaching executives at the highest levels. EQie takes everything I know and puts it in your pocket, every single day, so emotional intelligence stops being a buzzword and becomes a habit."

EQie isn't a chatbot. It's the coach in your corner before every send, every check-in, and every conversation that matters:
-
I.
Stop Sending That Regretful Message
Before you hit send on that email, text, or presentation — check EQie first. In seconds, EQie rewrites your message and sharpens your performance review feedback across three emotional intelligence communication styles — Executively Direct, Empathetic, and Diplomatic — so every word lands the way you actually mean it to.

Feeling Low? EQie Has Your Back
Real-time check-ins meet you exactly where you are, all day long — at 10 AM, 1 PM, and 4 PM — training your brain to recognize and regulate emotion in real time, until emotional intelligence isn't something you think about, it's just who you are.

Ever Wonder How Your EQ Is Really Developing?
EQie's quarterly EQ assessment gives you the answer — clear data on your progress and exactly where to focus next. It's the tool corporations need to infuse emotional intelligence into their culture all year long, not just once a year.
The result is a full-circle system: communicate smarter, regulate in real time, and watch your emotional intelligence climb — quarter after quarter. Because intentional habit becomes behavior, and behavior becomes culture.
