Love Intelligence for Corporates

People say, Andy, you are a corporate speaker and trainer coach for over 29 yeas, why talk about love? Isn't this too soft and not relevant for business?

That’s a fair question. I’ve heard it many times.

“Andy, you’ve been a corporate speaker and trainer for nearly three decades. Why talk about love? Isn’t that too soft for business?”

Let me answer directly.

If love were just romance, emotion, or sentimentality, then yes, it would be irrelevant to business.

But that is not what I mean by love.

When I talk about Love Intelligence, I am talking about the disciplined ability to build trust, inspire courage, and create value through human alignment.

Tell me, what business succeeds without trust?

You can have strategy without trust.
You can have technology without trust.
You can even have funding without trust.

But without trust, nothing sustains.

Deals collapse.
Teams fracture.
Talents leave.
Partnerships weaken.

For 29 years in corporate training and leadership development, I have observed something very consistent:

Technical skill gets you hired.
Relational intelligence gets you promoted.
Trustworthiness gets you followed.

In boardrooms, the biggest failures are not due to lack of IQ.
They come from ego, insecurity, fear, politics, miscommunication.

That is not a technical problem.
That is a human problem.

And human problems require human intelligence.

Love Intelligence is not about being nice.
It is about:

• Caring enough to see the real issue.
• Having the courage to speak difficult truths.
• Creating connection strong enough to move people voluntarily.

In business, results are multiplied by cooperation.
Cooperation is multiplied by trust.
Trust is multiplied by how people feel in your presence.

If people feel safe, respected, and understood —
they contribute more.

If they feel threatened, ignored, or manipulated —
they protect themselves.

That is not soft.
That is performance science.

In the AI era, this becomes even more critical.

AI can optimize processes.
It cannot generate loyalty.
It cannot take moral responsibility.
It cannot stand by someone under pressure.

The more technology advances,
the more human maturity matters.

Love Intelligence is not about replacing strategy.
It strengthens strategy.

It ensures that power does not become abuse.
Speed does not become recklessness.
Ambition does not become destruction.

If anything, love is not soft.

It is the hardest discipline in leadership.

It is the foundation of sustainable business.

In a world obsessed with speed and scale,
Love Intelligence is what keeps success human, and therefore lasting.
