Influential U® was built on a single observation: professionals fail not because they lack expertise, but because they cannot see the structure running beneath every exchange they are in.
That gap is not a personality problem. It is a visibility problem. The invisible layer was never named. It was never taught. There is no standard methodology for it. So we built one.
Transactional Intelligence™ (TQ) is that methodology. Not a communication style. Not a personality inventory. A structured methodology for the exchanges most people cannot see — the layer underneath every conversation that produces every outcome. TQ makes those exchanges visible, so you can navigate them consciously, rather than be ruled by forces you cannot see.
This is not a better version of yourself. It is a more precise understanding of what is actually happening in your exchanges — and a practical method for producing better outcomes in them.
What people call "transactional" — cold, calculated, manipulative — is not the nature of transacting. It is the symptom of its absence. The person with the highest TQ is not the sharpest negotiator or the most aggressive closer. They are the one who can see what is actually happening — and navigate it consciously, with skill, toward a real completion that works for both sides.
The Influential U® founders, faculty, and consultants have delivered the TQ methodology to practitioners across more than twenty countries.
Our foundational curriculum — Fundamentals of Transactional Intelligence™ — is the entry point into a four-year practitioner development sequence. TQ Exchange™ (TQX) is our live two-day intensive.
Transactional Intelligence™: Why It Matters More Than Expertise, co-authored by Kirkland Tibbels and John Patterson, publishes August 4, 2026.
