“Dr. Liza trained us to be experts on understanding and incorporating DiSC personalities into the 10 leadership techniques of Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ) (voice tone, communication, rapport, first impression, listening, flexibility, etc). Armed with such knowledge, success in all aspects of life is guaranteed. Even as regards Academic Detailing, it was amazing to see how the DiSC personality and cRQ education could impact the outcome of detailing (both telephonically and physically).” -

“As a pharmacist, who has worked in several industries, I was searching for a course that will help to enhance my current skillset and help accelerate my relational experiences among my peers, all the way to world-renowned physicians. Thankfully, I had the great opportunity to attend Dr. Liza’s course on Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ). After taking this course, I applied my newly -acquired skill-set to tailor interactions and enhance dialogues regarding anything from formulary decisions, value, access, core savings, or the holistic approach in the healthcare paradigm, that would benefit the overall health of the patient. Dr. Liza was passionate, inspiring, and provided examples of how she fared in her pharmacy career. She displayed leadership and thought outside the box, for example, she personally provided critiques, which included body language, eye contact, the colors we wear, and how to prepare for success. She truly embodies everything she teaches and the course provides practical steps that apply to professional growth, as well as relationships with spouses, significant others, children, and even relatives. I would definitely advise that anyone, as a medical professional or business professional, may benefit from this course, especially if you feel like you are stuck in your career and need to go to the next level. I am a true testament to the benefits of taking this course – I excelled last year as well as this year and I will continue to excel, as long as I continually go back to review the notes, and amazingly, I get to reach out to Dr. Liza in person to discuss more ways to help propel my career. I would like to say a big thank you to Dr. Liza. I look forward to an open line of communication.” -
Sr. Clinical Consultant, Fortune 100.
I recently had the Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ) training with Dr. Liza and I learned a ton of new information. I’ve never heard about how our personality styles can affect our relationships before so learning about the four different personalities. It was really eye-opening and beneficial to me. I had previously been conditioned after the ‘golden rule’ of ‘treating people the way that I wanted to be treated’, but now I know that the ‘golden rule’ doesn’t necessarily work for everybody and that there are different personalities with different needs. Dr. Liza’s training is extremely easy to acquire and it definitely applies to all my needs – both personally and professionally. During my past experience as a pharmacist, I worked in retail, dealing with about 50 to 100 customers a day – all of different personalities, and this training would have been extremely beneficial. Looking back, if I knew, back then, what I know now, I definitely would have changed the way I interacted with certain patients. As far as communicating, it would have been more effective. As a professional, my job is to communicate with outsiders, nurses, providers, and hospital staff in general, so, being able to listen to someone – in person or over the phone – and determine their personality would certainly help tailor the way I speak with them and attend to their needs and generally, help me communicate in the best way possible. Her examples really hit home, as far as understanding the different personalities. After the first few hours of the first day of the training, I was able to apply this knowledge to specific examples in my personal life and profession. Such as the personal relationships I have with my husband and friends. Dr. Liza’s CRQ training was amazing and delivered with passion. Her energy and intellect were great and infectious. I was drawn by her excitement and enthusiasm, and I was able to stay focused to contemplate what she was saying. I would definitely recommend this training to any other pharmacist, pharmacy student, healthcare professionals, and to anybody in general, but especially pharmacists and those who work with patients, as communication is very important to enable them to be more effective at their jobs. This training will also be helpful to patients – such that they listen better and understand the pharmacist – eventually increasing patient care. However, everybody could really benefit from this training, even other professionals that work and interact with people daily. Having this understanding of the four different personalities could really improve communication with family, friends, and help reduce the judgment of others, as far as just communicating in everyday settings, grocery stores, retail settings, etc. I really had a great time. Thank you very much, Dr. Liza – you’re an excellent trainer.” -

“For over 20 years, I worked as a pediatric pharmacist before I got into Consulting. I have to say, learning about Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ) from Dr. Liza was unbelievable. I really wish I had known about CRQ before. It would have made my life and my career, as a pharmacist, a much more pleasant and enjoyable experience. I have learned so many things from Dr. Liza, for example, how to read and relate to providers and patients, as well as how to talk to them, which made communication even better. This is because, in the pharmacy profession, we communicate very important information all the time, and we must be able to communicate concisely, and in a way that people will understand. I really appreciate how Dr. Liza conducted the training – it was very practical and super easy to learn. She was truly helpful and was always looking for feedback to ensure that no one got lost in the fray. Dr. Liza is an expert on CRQ. I have never heard any person speak with so much passion the way she did, and it makes learning from her such a pleasure. I think that everyone, not just pharmacists, should take this training – nurses, providers, patients, children, teenagers, and everyone – it would make life easier. Again, Dr. Liza, thank you so much for taking the time to walk me through this amazing CRQ training. I love you, and I’ll be calling you again to ask you a whole bunch of questions. Thank you so much.” -
Bank Employee, Flagstar Bank
“Today was a memorable day in the auditorium at Flagstar Bank. Me and several other Flagstar Bank employees at the Corporate Headquarters were graced with the presence of our own Dr. Liza. She was jointly invited by the Flagstar Bank Human Resources and Diversity and Inclusion Departments to do a presentation on Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ). Dr. Liza commands superior expertise in CRQ. Her strong delivery of the subject matter, engaging participants every step of the way through slides, demonstrations, questions, and humor is worthy of accolades. I was privileged to do a one-on-one demo with her during the session, which impressed my co-workers. Dr. Liza also exemplified the culture of reward and generosity by awarding active participants with high-quality professional pens – first impression matters. I was happier that this type of rare resource resides in our community. She boldly introduced herself to the audience and firmly highlighted her Cameroon heritage while sharing a few details about her background, as she proudly displayed a portrait of her family to the delight of everyone present. We were very fortunate to partake of Dr. Liza’s expertise in this field, and she does a superb job of walking participants through the process of improving relationships at work and at home. The session was streamed through the entire Flagstar Bank organization which allowed off-site employees, who could not make it to the auditorium, to follow the presentation and participate through their computers. This type and depth of training is not easily accessible anywhere so have a good pen and notepad always ready with you in case you bump into Dr. Liza. Her presentations are richly deep, and the takeaways from them will improve your relationships and productivity at work and home. I have learned simple, practical, inspiring, and invaluable collaborative techniques that most definitely improved my productivity and relationships. I emerged not only “WOWed” but my perspective has changed forever. I came out of the auditorium very proud of Dr. Liza’s intellectual capacity, and solid presentation skills. After the presentation, I had a conversation with some of my colleagues, and their feedback was very positive. They learned new collaborative techniques and felt Dr. Liza did a great job of dissecting CRQ. They attested that her delivery was strong, concise, and very relational. Personally, I was glad she broke down the scientific parts of CRQ to a layman level, such that an ordinary Joe like myself could comprehend. If you ever get the opportunity, don’t miss a session with Dr. Liza. You will emerge feeling WOWed like I did. I hope Flagstar Bank will invite her again in the near future. Thanks for coming out, Dr. Liza Ekole. You rock!!!” -

“Dr. Liza was an influential presenter at our school. Her special ‘Dr.’ title comes from being Doctor of Pharmacy and a PhD holder in Health Services, specializing in Leadership and Public Health. In Dr. Liza’s presentation, she stressed the importance of leadership and its connection to her Pharmacy career. She freely discussed her family and career, and for the first time, I saw Pharmacy as a very interesting career path that I didn’t know existed. I was lucky enough to interview Dr. Liza and talk about her life outside of Pharmacy and her story truly inspired me. Dr. Liza and her husband own a foundation called the “The Fountain of Hope Missions” where they have dedicated their time and money giving back to different groups of people and communities, including the poor, elderly, orphans, sick, churches, and schools. Dr. Liza’s story of how she does everything out of the kindness of her heart and to the glory of the Lord really opened my mind to all the great things I can potentially do with my profession. Dr. Liza is truly inspiring.” -

“What stood out to me about Dr. Liza’s presentations on Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ) are these: Intentional interactions start with knowing yourself (Rule – Know yourself and inspire others), every interaction leaves an impression, first impressions stick, say something positive about someone, and always call people by their names. Her presentation had a very positive impact on me and I will try to apply it to my profession as a school nurse.” -
Bambui, Cultural Group.
“I was privileged to be a part of Dr. Liza’s presentation during our last Annual National Cultural Convention in Southfield, Detroit, Michigan. After her presentation, I was able to reconnect with myself and understand that the human brain is a complex working organ that cannot be easily overworked, contrary to the conception I had before her presentation. Even at very short notice and limited time, Dr. Liza could still clearly, concisely, and completely present in one hour what she usually takes at least three hours to teach. With the recommendations of my executive, I declared her an honorary member of the Bambui Cultural Community in the United States of America.” -

“What hit me personally, was her training on Leadership and the types of Leadership (spiritual, cultural, and psychological) in relation to the idea of Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ): knowledge + understanding = wisdom.” -
Mother’s Day Message on Collaborative Relational Intelligence®.
“Dr. Liza really motivated me with her message on Mother’s Day. Of the many moving statements, my favorite was her affirmation that women who raise children are mothers too – whether or not these women birthed the children. Such a powerful affirmation that really impacted my life, along with the lives of my friends, with whom I shared the same message. Dr. Liza’s message also changed my entire perspective of life, when she clearly explained individual personality differences, counseling that people should not be treated in the same way but in unique ways depending on their unique personalities. Dr. Liza is indeed an inspirational speaker.” -
Coordinator, Harvard Global Health Catalyst Summit.
“We have received a lot of positive feedback from the attendees of the Harvard Global Health (GHC) Summit. Those who couldn’t make it to the session heard about it wished they hadn’t missed it. We really look forward to another session on Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ) next year, and we hope that you would consider gracing us again with your presence, perhaps on the ‘Memorial Day’ weekend. Thank you, Dr. Liza, for adding value to the Harvard Global Health (GHC )Summit with your transforming CRQ training.” -

“We had the privilege of learning from Dr. Liza Ekole – one of our highly respected guest speakers. She taught us a slightly different approach to success. Oftentimes, other managers and guest speakers talk about themselves, their accomplishments, and their numerous employees, however, Dr. Liza was genuinely humble and kind throughout her presentation, as she talked about her personal share of relational interactions with her patients and coworkers. Another aspect of Dr. Liza’s presentation is her dedication, love, and philanthropy. Dr. Liza stressed the importance of individual relationships with others in relation to becoming a successful, and meaningful pharmacist. She exemplified how simply writing a sincere ‘thank you note’ to a coworker can make a big difference. She provided deep insights into the 4 main personality styles and how to use observable techniques to read and communicate effectively. She encouraged us to use the very traits we possess to maximize our relationships with those we come into contact with every day, and to treat everyone with love and respect. I plan to incorporate Dr. Liza’s ideas into my career as a pharmacist.” -
Director Of Pharmacy, Fortune, 100.
The training and information Dr. Liza shared has been extremely valuable in helping to onboard one of ours – J.L. We appreciate her willingness to roll with the COVID punches and hold the training via phone (vs the original in-person training). In J.L’s words “I am very grateful and I want you to thank Dr. Liza on my behalf. Her training is so valuable that I think it should be made part of the training for academic detailers or anyone who is involved in physician/provider engagement or in need of personal growth. I have never met anyone who is so passionate and knowledgeable in the subject matter.” Thank you, Dr. Liza for all the time and effort spent meeting with and training J.L these past couple of weeks. -

This was a week full of AH-HA moments. I will definitely be taking all this knowledge on Collaborative Relational Intelligence® and applying it to the fullest capacity in my new role as a consultant.

Clinical Consultant, Fortune 100 Company.
Dr. Liza is a true master of the Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ) concept and her simplification of the different personality styles was truly refreshing. My personal takeaway, in short, is that understanding the CRQ concept will; 1. Increase your self-knowledge and awareness (what motivates you, what stresses you, how you respond to conflicts, and how you solve problems); 2. Improve your working relationships by helping you recognize the communication needs of your team members; 3. Facilitate better teamwork between you and your coworkers and teach productive conflict resolution; 4. Help you develop stronger sales skills by identifying and responding to different customer styles; and 5. Improve your management effectiveness by helping you understand the dispositions and priorities of employees and team members. Dr. Liza has added so much value to our department, and the entire company could benefit from this training. Thank you Dr. Liza.” -

Sr. Clinical Consultant, Physician Engagement.
What can I say? Dr. Liza is a genius, and after just one day in her session, I feel a lot smarter. I have always followed the “golden rule”, but now, I know that it may not always be the best course of action. Her PRACTICAL training really opened my eyes and made me rethink most of my assumptions about other people. Learning the four different personality types has allowed me to really understand WHY people act the way they do. Now, I react to their actions much differently than I used to. Dr. Liza made me realize things about my personality that I would have never realized: little things like where I sit, the way I sit, and even the type of pen I use.” -

Do not hesitate to take this workshop, it guarantees it will transform how you interact with patients and other physicians. -

I was privileged to attend Dr. Liza’s session at the Harvard Global Health Summit and I had an eye-opening experience that has transformed my personal life and career.

I will highly recommend this leadership training to other organizations in Germany because of the positive impact this training will have on organizations and individuals. -

Dr. Liza is an outstanding speaker with a very important message for healthcare professionals and other organizations. We gave her a standing ovation at the end of her presentation on CRQ.

She is very knowledgeable, passionate, practical and engaging. Very impressive! I highly recommend her. -

Dr. Liza’s workshop was powerful and thought-provoking. I learned a lot about myself and how others perceive me. I also learned that each person is different. I need to communicate with them differently. I will definitely be using these CRQ techniques to improve teamwork and better team dynamics because teamwork makes the dream work. Therefore understanding that there are different personalities and ways of perceiving communication is really grounding. Thank you, and I will be recommending your training to all physicians. -

“Dr. Liza, I want to say thank you for the presentation. As they say, God moves in mysterious ways.
God needed to put the CRQ concept in my spirit.
My husband and I have recently separated, and are trying to find our way back to each other. What we are missing is exactly that….Collaborative Relational Intelligence ( CRQ) and speaking the same language. I had so many AHA moments during your workshop. I guarantee this will happen with others, both professionally and personally.
Seriously, you blessed me with this outreach and I am so very excited for the work that you are doing!”

I was lucky enough to interview Dr. Liza and talk about her life outside of Pharmacy and her story truly inspired me. Dr. Liza and her husband own a foundation called the "The Fountain of Hope Missions" where they have dedicated their time and money giving back to different groups of people and communities, including the poor, elderly, orphans, sick, churches, and schools. Dr. Liza's story of how she does everything out of the kindness of her heart and to the glory of the Lord really opened my mind to all the great things I can potentially do with my profession. Dr. Liza is truly inspiring."
"Today was a memorable day in the auditorium at Flagstar Bank. Me and several other Flagstar Bank employees at the Corporate Headquarters were graced with the presence of our own Dr. Liza. She was jointly invited by the Flagstar Bank Human Resources and Diversity and Inclusion Departments to do a presentation on Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ). Dr. Liza commands superior expertise in CRQ. Her strong delivery of the subject matter, engaging participants every step of the way through slides, demonstrations, questions, and humor is worthy of accolades. I was privileged to do a one-on-one demo with her during the session, which impressed my co-workers. Dr. Liza also exemplified the culture of reward and generosity by awarding active participants with high-quality professional pens - first impression matters. I was happier that this type of rare resource resides in our community. She boldly introduced herself to the audience and firmly highlighted her Cameroon heritage while sharing a few details about her background, as she proudly displayed a portrait of her family to the delight of everyone present. We were very fortunate to partake of Dr. Liza's expertise in this field, and she does a superb job of walking participants through the process of improving relationships at work and at home. The session was streamed through the entire Flagstar Bank organization which allowed off-site employees, who could not make it to the auditorium, to follow the presentation and participate through their computers. This type and depth of training is not easily accessible anywhere so have a good pen and notepad always ready with you in case you bump into Dr. Liza. Her presentations are richly deep, and the takeaways from them will improve your relationships and productivity at work and home. I have learned simple, practical, inspiring, and invaluable collaborative techniques that most definitely improved my productivity and relationships. I emerged not only "WOWed" but my perspective has changed forever. I came out of the auditorium very proud of Dr. Liza’s intellectual capacity, and solid presentation skills. After the presentation, I had a conversation with some of my colleagues, and their feedback was very positive. They learned new collaborative techniques and felt Dr. Liza did a great job of dissecting CRQ. They attested that her delivery was strong, concise, and very relational. Personally, I was glad she broke down the scientific parts of CRQ to a layman level, such that an ordinary Joe like myself could comprehend. If you ever get the opportunity, don’t miss a session with Dr. Liza. You will emerge feeling WOWed like I did. I hope Flagstar Bank will invite her again in the near future. Thanks for coming out, Dr. Liza Ekole. You rock!!!"
"For over 20 years, I worked as a pediatric pharmacist before I got into Consulting. I have to say, learning about Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ) from Dr. Liza was unbelievable. I really wish I had known about CRQ before. It would have made my life and my career, as a pharmacist, a much more pleasant and enjoyable experience. I have learned so many things from Dr. Liza, for example, how to read and relate to providers and patients, as well as how to talk to them, which made communication even better. This is because, in the pharmacy profession, we communicate very important information all the time, and we must be able to communicate concisely, and in a way that people will understand. I really appreciate how Dr. Liza conducted the training - it was very practical and super easy to learn. She was truly helpful and was always looking for feedback to ensure that no one got lost in the fray. Dr. Liza is an expert on CRQ. I have never heard any person speak with so much passion the way she did, and it makes learning from her such a pleasure. I think that everyone, not just pharmacists, should take this training - nurses, providers, patients, children, teenagers, and everyone - it would make life easier. Again, Dr. Liza, thank you so much for taking the time to walk me through this amazing CRQ training. I love you, and I'll be calling you again to ask you a whole bunch of questions. Thank you so much."
I recently had the Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ) training with Dr. Liza and I learned a ton of new information. I've never heard about how our personality styles can affect our relationships before so learning about the four different personalities. It was really eye-opening and beneficial to me. I had previously been conditioned after the 'golden rule' of 'treating people the way that I wanted to be treated', but now I know that the 'golden rule' doesn't necessarily work for everybody and that there are different personalities with different needs. Dr. Liza's training is extremely easy to acquire and it definitely applies to all my needs - both personally and professionally. During my past experience as a pharmacist, I worked in retail, dealing with about 50 to 100 customers a day - all of different personalities, and this training would have been extremely beneficial. Looking back, if I knew, back then, what I know now, I definitely would have changed the way I interacted with certain patients. As far as communicating, it would have been more effective. As a professional, my job is to communicate with outsiders, nurses, providers, and hospital staff in general, so, being able to listen to someone - in person or over the phone - and determine their personality would certainly help tailor the way I speak with them and attend to their needs and generally, help me communicate in the best way possible. Her examples really hit home, as far as understanding the different personalities. After the first few hours of the first day of the training, I was able to apply this knowledge to specific examples in my personal life and profession. Such as the personal relationships I have with my husband and friends. Dr. Liza's CRQ training was amazing and delivered with passion. Her energy and intellect were great and infectious. I was drawn by her excitement and enthusiasm, and I was able to stay focused to contemplate what she was saying. I would definitely recommend this training to any other pharmacist, pharmacy student, healthcare professionals, and to anybody in general, but especially pharmacists and those who work with patients, as communication is very important to enable them to be more effective at their jobs. This training will also be helpful to patients - such that they listen better and understand the pharmacist - eventually increasing patient care. However, everybody could really benefit from this training, even other professionals that work and interact with people daily. Having this understanding of the four different personalities could really improve communication with family, friends, and help reduce the judgment of others, as far as just communicating in everyday settings, grocery stores, retail settings, etc. I really had a great time. Thank you very much, Dr. Liza - you're an excellent trainer."
"As a pharmacist, who has worked in several industries, I was searching for a course that will help to enhance my current skillset and help accelerate my relational experiences among my peers, all the way to world-renowned physicians. Thankfully, I had the great opportunity to attend Dr. Liza's course on Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ). After taking this course, I applied my newly -acquired skill-set to tailor interactions and enhance dialogues regarding anything from formulary decisions, value, access, core savings, or the holistic approach in the healthcare paradigm, that would benefit the overall health of the patient. Dr. Liza was passionate, inspiring, and provided examples of how she fared in her pharmacy career. She displayed leadership and thought outside the box, for example, she personally provided critiques, which included body language, eye contact, the colors we wear, and how to prepare for success. She truly embodies everything she teaches and the course provides practical steps that apply to professional growth, as well as relationships with spouses, significant others, children, and even relatives. I would definitely advise that anyone, as a medical professional or business professional, may benefit from this course, especially if you feel like you are stuck in your career and need to go to the next level. I am a true testament to the benefits of taking this course - I excelled last year as well as this year and I will continue to excel, as long as I continually go back to review the notes, and amazingly, I get to reach out to Dr. Liza in person to discuss more ways to help propel my career. I would like to say a big thank you to Dr. Liza. I look forward to an open line of communication."
"Dr. Liza trained us to be experts on understanding and incorporating DiSC personalities into the 10 leadership techniques of Collaborative Relational Intelligence® (CRQ) (voice tone, communication, rapport, first impression, listening, flexibility, etc). Armed with such knowledge, success in all aspects of life is guaranteed. Even as regards Academic Detailing, it was amazing to see how the DiSC personality and cRQ education could impact the outcome of detailing (both telephonically and physically)."
