At Barilliant, we love collaborating with organisations that lead with purpose, innovation, and impact. One such collaboration has been with EQ Strategist, founded by leadership expert Dominic and Sue Siow, whose work over the past two decades has helped organisations, leaders, and teams thrive through the power of emotional intelligence.
As EQ Strategist celebrates 20 years of empowering leaders and organisations, we’re proud to reflect on a special collaboration that brought Dominic’s message to life in a unique and memorable way.
A Partnership Built on Purpose
EQ Strategist has spent the past twenty years helping organisations strengthen leadership capability, align culture with purpose, and unlock the potential of their people.
Through leadership development, executive coaching, and culture transformation programs, Dominic and the EQ Strategist team have guided countless leaders to navigate change with resilience and clarity.
Their mission is simple yet powerful:
To empower organisations to lead with emotional intelligence, align culture with purpose, and unlock the potential of their people through transformative leadership development, coaching, and culture change interventions.
This focus on purposeful leadership has made EQ Strategist a trusted partner for organisations seeking to build resilient teams and thriving workplace cultures.
Turning a Book Into an Experience
One of the most memorable moments in our collaboration was helping celebrate Dominic Siow’s book:
“What’s Great About This?: How to Be Resilient and Thrive Through Disruption and Change.”
Rather than simply sharing the book in traditional formats, we worked together to create something unexpected — a custom chocolate bar inspired by the book cover itself.
Barilliant designed personalised chocolate bars featuring the book artwork, transforming the message of resilience and positivity into a tangible experience that could be shared during workshops and events.
The result was a thoughtful and engaging way for participants to connect with the book’s core message — that even in times of disruption and change, there is always an opportunity to ask:
“What’s great about this?”
Celebrating Leadership and Impact
Over the past 20 years, EQ Strategist has helped countless leaders develop the emotional intelligence required to guide teams through complexity, change, and growth.
Their work continues to shape organisations by building cultures that prioritise.
- self-awareness and emotional intelligence
- resilient leadership
- purpose-driven organisational culture
- empowered and high-performing teams
- It’s an inspiring example of how leadership development can create lasting impact across organisations and industries.
A Collaboration That Reflects Shared Values
At Barilliant, we believe thoughtful experiences can elevate meaningful moments. Collaborating with Dominic and the EQ Strategist team allowed us to bring creativity into a leadership environment in a way that sparked curiosity and conversation.
The personalised chocolate bars became more than a gift — they became a reminder of the mindset at the heart of Dominic’s message.
A simple but powerful question:
What’s great about this?
