Many people hear the term “Love Intelligence” and immediately think it’s about romance or relationships between couples. But the truth is far deeper. All love is about relationships — and the most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. we must first learn how to relate to ourselves with honesty, compassion, and courage. CARE When you care for your own thoughts and emotions, you naturally become more understanding toward others. COURAGE to correct ourselves, and to do the right thing even when it is uncomfortable. A courageous heart inspires courageous relationships. CONNECTION when you can connect your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Only then can you build meaningful connections with people around you. you don't just build better relationships at home or at work — you build a better you .  And that transforms every relationship in your life. It is about becoming a stronger, kinder, and more courageous human being… so that every relationship you t...

Most staff are just trained and good at facing the computer, not humans.   They lack patience in explaining, no EQ, no service.  Just good at sending emails and forwarding information.   No sales, no follow-up, no prospecting.   No time for thinking, strategizing, or bouncing ideas.   In an AI world, humans only do one job: deal with humans.  Not every moment face the computer.  All such tasks can be done by AI in 1 min, when the persons spend hours checking data, inputting data, sorting out data, working on spreadsheets etc. Are you doing job that only humans can do or are you doing jobs that AI can do?  Share me your thoughts.   

How Brian Tracy’s Formula Quietly Reveals the Power of Love Intelligence When I first came across Brian Tracy’s “universal equation of results,” it looked like a productivity formula. But when I read it again with Love Intelligence in mind, I realised something powerful: Results = (Clarity of Goal × Concentration) ÷ Distractions 1. W — Clarity of Goal = Courage You cannot be clear if you don’t dare to be honest with yourself. They fail because they don’t dare to admit what they truly want. It is removing self-deception . 2. C — Concentration = Care You care enough about your goal to protect your attention and energy. Care is your ability to prioritise what truly matters. In LQ terms, this is care that creates momentum. 3. T — Time of Distractions = Connection (to yourself) They procrastinate because they don’t feel their purpose. They fill silence because they cannot connect inward. And when T goes down, results go up. The Formula Becomes an LQ Formula Results = (Courage × ...

Re-Place AI, Not Be Replaced by AI AI is not your competitor. AI is your assistant. Your real power comes from how you use AI to become more human, more present, and more valuable. Most people fear AI because they think robots will take their jobs. But that only happens to people who behave like robots. When you operate with Love Intelligence (LQ), you stop competing with machines. You re-place AI—putting it where it belongs : Let AI do the repetitive work Let AI handle the data, the drafts, the logic Let AI accelerate your efficiency So you can focus on the one thing that no technology can ever replace: Your humanity. AI Cannot Replicate Love, Trust, Loyalty AI can imitate empathy, but it cannot feel it. AI can analyze emotions, but it cannot hold another person’s heart. AI can predict behaviour, but it cannot build relationships. Human trust comes from: sincerity,  caring intention,  moral courage,  emotional safety presence,  sa...

When people like you because you are a nice person, there is a hidden danger that few notice. People may smile at you, praise you, and treat you gently — but they will not tell you the truth. They won’t correct you when you make mistakes. They won’t give you tough advice. They won’t point out the blind spots you urgently need to see. Their kindness becomes a cushion that hides reality. This is exactly what both Yijing (易经) and The Art of War warn us about. Yijing teaches that everything carries two sides. When something appears very good on the surface, its opposite energy is forming underneath. Extreme softness becomes weakness. Extreme “niceness” becomes danger. Sun Tzu echoes the same principle. He says a wise general must care for his soldiers — but because he truly cares, he dares to discipline them. He dares to point out faults. He dares to enforce standards. He dares to say what others don’t dare to say. Why? Because real care requires courage. That is why being loved by everyon...

When people talk about efficiency and effectiveness , they think they’re talking about time management, productivity tools, and techniques. But if you look deeper, efficiency and effectiveness are actually the daily expression of Love Intelligence (LQ) . Let me explain. 1. Efficiency = Care you plan better, you focus better, you avoid mistakes, you clean up your processes. Clarity produces efficiency. So efficiency is not a skill problem — it is a care problem . 2. Effectiveness = Courage • courage to say no • courage to focus • courage to challenge wrong directions • courage to take responsibility  It comes from the courage to act on what truly matters . 3. Collaboration = Connection when trust is low, when people hide information, when departments fight each other… • smoother teamwork • clearer expectations • zero politics • quicker decisions So what is efficiency + effectiveness in daily life? = Love Intelligence (LQ). ✔ prioritise correctly → you are usin...

What Microsoft’s CEO Said About Empathy — And How It Confirms Andy Ng’s Love Intelligence (LQ) When Satya Nadella said, “IQ without EQ is just a waste,” he wasn’t talking about being soft. He was talking about the new survival skill in the age of AI: the ability to understand people, uplift people, and connect meaningfully. In other words, Love Intelligence (LQ). Because LQ is not about feelings. LQ is the strategic use of Care, Courage and Connection to create performance, trust and human energy. And what Satya calls a “superpower”… is exactly what I Andy have been teaching for 29 years. Let me show you how. 1. Satya says empathy increases performance. Andy teaches: “Care increases energy, and energy increases results. In Andy’s class Leading with LQ , he always tells managers: “You don’t manage people with tasks. You manage people with energy.” Example from class: A technical manager blamed his team for mistakes. Andy coached him to validate effort first, then guide behaviour. The te...

Why Love Intelligence (LQ) Is the Skill HR Has Been Waiting For — and Why Ignoring It Is Corporate Suicide By Andy Ng, Author of Love Intelligence (LQ) Everyone is talking about AI. Nobody is talking about the skill that will decide whether teams thrive or collapse in the next 5 years. That skill is Love Intelligence . Not romantic love. Not soft love. But the ability to use love as strategic energy to lead, decide, and connect. And let’s be honest — HR is exhausted. Here are the 7 frustrations HR faces daily , and how LQ fixes them: 1️⃣ Constant Change + No Clear Direction People resist change because they don’t feel safe . LQ creates clarity, trust and alignment. 2️⃣ Disengaged Teams / Low Morale People disengage when they feel unseen. LQ brings back recognition, appreciation and emotional energy. 3️⃣ Slow, Risk-Averse Decision Making Fear delays decisions. LQ gives courage and buy-in. 4️⃣ Silo Mentality + Poor Communication Communication problems = connection p...

L ove Intelligence (LQ) is the skill of using love as strategic energy to lead, decide, and connect. Without LQ, teams lose trust, clarity, courage—and collapse. ✅ How Love Intelligence Solves the 7 Biggest Corporate Frustrations 1. Constant Change with No Clear Direction from the Top LQ creates clarity and alignment . When leaders lead with care and connection, they communicate honestly, explain the “why,” and guide people through change with courage instead of confusion. Without LQ: chaos. With LQ: clarity. 2. Disengaged Teams and Low Morale Most people are not disengaged because they are lazy. They are disengaged because they feel unseen . LQ brings back emotional safety, appreciation, and meaning. When people feel valued, they perform without being pushed. Without LQ: payroll workers. With LQ: purpose-driven teams. 3. Ineffective, Slow Decision-Making Reason-only leadership creates fear. Fear slows decisions. LQ gives leaders courage and trust. Teams contribute ideas freely,...

1. Constant Change with No Clear Direction "We’re always reacting, never leading." ✅ How Yijing Helps: Yijing reveals patterns in change — the what , why , and when of transitions. Participants learn how to identify the phase they’re in (Initiation? Resistance? Breakthrough?) and apply the right response, not guesswork. 2. Disengaged Teams and Low Morale "People are tired, disconnected, and just going through the motions." ✅ How Yijing Helps: Yijing teaches the art of resonance (感应). Leaders learn how to align with their team’s unspoken needs, tap into intrinsic motivation, and manage energy — not just tasks. Real morale rises when people feel seen and valued . 3. Ineffective Decision-Making "Too slow, too risky, or just wrong." ✅ How Yijing Helps: By using the 64 hexagrams, leaders master situational diagnosis. They see the underlying forces at play — not just surface issues — and respond with precise timing, clarity, and impact. Less f...

In my Love Intelligence talks, I always say this: Validate people. Appreciate people. Celebrate their achievements. And every time, someone will raise a hand and say, “Andy, how to appreciate? These people are doing everything wrong!” Let me explain something most leaders don’t realise. Love Intelligence is not about complimenting perfection. It is about energising potential. When someone is doing the wrong things, I don’t reward the mistake. I don’t praise the result. But I do appreciate the effort . Because imagine this: If you try your best, even though you didn’t get it right, and I say, “Thank you for trying. I see your effort,” what happens to you? Your energy rises. Your heart opens. You feel your hard work is worthwhile. You become willing to improve. That is the power of energy through love. Now imagine the opposite. You actually achieved something. You made progress. And instead of acknowledging it, I criticise you. I make sarcastic remarks. I downplay...

There Are Only Two Types of Training in the World: One Shrinks the Mind, One Expands It After 29 years of training thousands of professionals, leaders, and organisations, I have come to a very simple conclusion: All training falls into just two categories: Training that narrows the mind Training that broadens the mind** Most people don’t notice the difference,  but this difference determines whether your organisation grows or gets stuck. Let me explain." Type 1: Narrowing-the-Mind Training This is the most common type of training in the corporate world today. It teaches one method, one formula, one fixed way of seeing the world. The trainer insists “This is the right way,” and everything else is dismissed. It’s training designed to create compliance, not creativity. This type of trainer is often very sure of himself, too sure, in fact. They love to position themselves as gurus , but many end up behaving like “sukus” (the Malay word for crazy). Narrowing-t...
